According to HLN, if you eat or drink something with liquid nitrogen, it can create a hole in your stomach. I would avoid this foodie trend.

and yet people have been using liquid nitrogen for years.

For one you can't ingest liquid nitrogen becuse it would freeze the skin of your mouth solid and it sublimates from a liquid to a gas so rapidly that all it does is chill whatever you add it to

I encourage the progressive slave to drink this fluid, not only will it freeze shut their pieholes, but stop their breathing also. It would be a good day for the planet as then there would be no more global warming.

What about using propane for cooking? It's easy to use on your porch grill, i.e. mobile. We also have Bernzomatic (butane) for small home jobs that need a gas torch?

"Some very common questions for those new to LNG – “what is LNG? Is it propane or LPG?


The answer is “no” and here is a brief explanation:


LPG is short for Liquified Petroleum Gas. LPG can be Propane, Butane isobutane and can be a mixture of these gasses. In the United States, LPG is thought of as propane but while propane is a LPG, not all LPG is propane.


LPG comes from two sources. One is natural gas processing and the other is during the refining process. LPG can be liquefied by being cooled and pressurized and shipped via, truck, pipeline rail and ship.


LNG is short for Liquefied Natural Gas. Natural gas is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mostly consisting largely of methane. It is extracted during natural gas drilling and petroleum production. LNG is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state at -260°. Natural gas is plentiful in the United Sates and the U.S is the world leader in Natural Gas production.

For practical purposes and for what application from this point we will use LPG and Propane interchangeably.


LNG vs LPG/Propane Fuel Storage​


The biggest difference between LNG and LPG is how the fuel is stored. LNG needs to be stored in cryogenic tanks and then is re-gasified into a vapor using a vaporizer. The cost of this storage and vaporizer can be between $150,000-$200,000.


These costs prevent LNG being a fuel application for smaller users that usage is under 250,000-300,000 gallons of fuel per year. For these types of end users LPG would be the preferred fuel. For industrial accounts the cost of storage between LNG and LPG is more on par with each other. For an industrial end user to install a propane system the cost between $100,000-$150,000


LNG vs LPG Fuel Costs​


Another major difference of LNG vs LPG is cost of fuel and price volatility. Historically speaking the price of propane is very volatile. In last 5 years prices have ranged from over $4.00 per gallon to as low as $.75 per gallon. A reason for the volatility is propane price is derived from price of crude oil, weather and the propane export market.


These three factors can fluctuate greatly year to year and lead to the price of propane varying greatly year to year. Because propane demand peaks in winter time, the price of propane from November through March is generally at a premium. For any large end user that has a 12-month demand, they must incur higher costs during these months.


One of the advantageous of LNG vs Propane for industrial end users is that the price is very stable and easy for long term hedging. The price of LNG is based on the price of the underlying commodity which is natural gas, liquefaction costs and transportation costs.


The underlying commodity natural gas has traded in a $.5 per MMBTU range for past 3 years. As we mentioned the United States is the global leader in natural production therefore the price isn’t impacted by geopolitical events.


In most cases, an Industrial end user can save between .15-.25 by converting from propane to LNG. Pioneer LNG works with many industrial end users looking to convert because of the fuel savings involved. Another major motivation for end user to convert is the ability to lock in prices with multiyear contracts. One of the hardest budgeting costs is energy because of price fluctuations. Pioneer LNG solves that problem by offer long term fixed price contracts."
