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?
