(edit:) I forgot about loss of fuel solubility events and the unsolved problem of tritium retention.
(edit:) It's interesting how the english wikipedia pages miss all the details on the failed projects in this field.

It needs to be a very diverse Mix that slowly and steadily grows, making it unlikely to hit your 1% case and giving us time to adjust to fluctuating power generation. And it leaves a lot of room for clever engineering ideas and distribution. It also presents the opportunity for the people to gain back control over power generation and storage. Huge electrical companies might be unecessary :)
2) Explain to me what a frozen mind is. Explain to me how a mind can be frozen, present evidence. Present evidence that the mind is present and intact in a frozen brain. Explain how the mind can be restored, present evidence.
3) That is not the definition (even if it was, my point would still be valid), it is an obvious ruse to get around a problem with he whole concept of freezing and reviving people that is obvious to anyone who has ever eaten frozen broccoli. Also "reprogramming viruses -> nanotech that can do everything": Non sequitur.
4) Again, you are just asserting things. You are making a positive claim and you need to present evidence.
5) I understand that you claimed that before. But you are just pulling that out of the air without evidence or even a good explanation or any reasoning.
6) I have a canvas with the original painting of the mona lisa that was made before the one we can now see at the museum. You're lucky! I would like to sell it to you! Please note that you can not see the painting at the moment because it has been preserved by a sophisticated technique called "meh". So the canvas might look empty at the moment but future nanotechnology will be able to restore it. Interested?

That's not what I was talking about.
Reviving frozen minds
Frozen. Minds. Say What?
will likely require some form of basic molecular nanotech,
Wild assertion.
and this same technology can in principle convert dirt to habitats on Earth and in space.
Wild speculation.
To sum it up - you have nothing. Asserting "OH the tech we will have by then will magically fix it and we will live in space" is not a solution. It's not relevant to you and me anyway because we will likely not be able to backup and restore minds during our lifetime.
Additionally, bodies frozen today will NEVER be revived because the body and brain are utterly damaged in the process (http://www.skepdic.com/cryonics.html).
That said, in my oppinion a big part of what makes life worthwhile IS that it is finite.
[I am working with the assumption that by "backup and recovery plan for people" essentially you are talking about making people immortal by backing up their mind before the body dies and somehow keeping it working, e.g. recovering it to a different body.]
That said I would be really interested to use the product on expeditions IF it provides a significant advantage. So - how is this superior to a load of sugar(s), whey protein and a micronutrients supplement?
