X-Message-Number: 17564 Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2001 09:30:11 -0700 From: Mike Perry <> Subject: Making Our Own LN2 Dave Pizer, in #17551, says "A few years ago, Alcor, with the help of scientist director Mark Voelker, investigated the costs of making our own liquid nitrogen. We found that we could make it cheaper than we could buy it, even allowing for the amortization of the equipment needed to do so. How can having our own liquid nitrogen making capabilities, while saving money, be considered a hardship?????" In #17537 I do raise the possibility that we would have to make our own liquid nitrogen. I didn't quite say it, but did have in mind that it would be more difficult to go that route. If I'm wrong, well and good, and why aren't we doing it now?
