Someone else will probably point you towards them. But as for your thinking that there is a fundamentally less expensive method, there simply is not. Solar power is incredibly expensive. Your startup costs for a LN2 generator would also be huge. There's a reason we use oil, coal, natural gas, etc. It's because it's cheap. There's also a reason why companies specialize in gas production and distrubution. Again, because it's cheap. The only ways I can think of to reduce the cost of cryonics are: Offer neuro only (this is a very significant savings) Don't do research (but is this really a good idea?) Get more people signed up so that there is a storage facility in every large city.
