also almost non-corrosive, non-toxic, doesn't damage ozone layer, zero global warming potential, non-flammable etc (lots of organic rankine cycle fluids fail one or more of these. tradeoff is utilization of lower temperature sources)

zero global warming potential

This one isn't right. Nobody will complain about you releasing it, but it's a quite strong global warming gas.

Very strong GWP, but it does this cool thing where it condenses when it hits colder air and falls back to the ground in liquid state, thus removing itself from the atmosphere...

(It's equivalent GWP is near zero and is estimated to be between 0.0005 and -0.001)

If it doesn't I propose a simple and descriptive "waterfall".

I prefer the more poetic "God pissing on the monkeys"

What would the white stuff that comes from the sky then be called?

But it can be contained and condensed for reused.
