It sounds like you are saying that out of habit. If you just liquified oxygen in a chamber, let it return to a gas and had it go through a turbine, I would agree, you would lose energy. However if you put that liquid oxygen in a smaller chamber, one only as big as the liquid, it would have...

Actually it gets the energy to return to gas from the sun. That is why the tank for the liquid oxygen would be outside, to take the heat from the outside air, which anywhere in the world is warm enough.

How much electricity does it take to liquify oxygen? I am just curious as if it only took small amounts one could create a power plant that liquified oxygen, put it in a small chamber outside to return it to a gas and used the pressure to turn a turbine with the gas returning for cooling. This...
