John- In terms of Lair calculations- I had hoped my colleague Kevin would have time to do this since his background is more suited, hence the delay after requests from Andrew and Mike. I'm going to work on this over the next few days, so should post my results Friday or Monday.
I totally agree with you that energy to produce Lair is not something to be worried about. It's a very efficient process, and in the case that it has a larger CO2 footprint than expected, we could always use renewable energy sources for the liquefaction. As a long-shot, it would be interesting to see if some of the methane leaks could be tapped! In terms of your comment that higher altitudes might be too dry for cloud formation, keep in mind that a solution might be to concurrently release water vapor along with Lair, to "artificially prime" those regions with moisture.
