Don't know about CI in Michigan, but Alcor's Dewars aren't even powered - just topped up with the appropriate chilled substance every now and again to keep the contents cool. As for carbon output - I don't see how carbon is generated in the process (unless he's counting any discarded cooling products.) And the process doesn't even involve radioactivity. So his questions don't seem to be valid. Would suggest, however, that you don't continue the argument beyond one answer - I'd guess your correspondent's fuzzy ideas about cryonics extend to the whole of science, and he's unlikely to be a rewarding debating partner.
