I'm not sure if ice will conduct electricity, but even if it doesn't,
the key issue would be to keep it ice.  Any melting would result in
some conductive path, so it would have to be kept under a low
temperature, requiring more power and complexity.  I don't think this
would be worthwhile unless ice had amazingly superior dielectric
properties.

Maybe we should  have consulted Kurt Vonnegut and 
tried Ice-9 as a dielectric....It doesn't melt 
until it get to something like 114º


Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
