5. Generators

If you have access to propane or natural gas, you can buy an installed
generator. They range in cost from US$1,500 to more than US$12,000,
and can be purchased from Lowes or Home Depot.

If you already have gas service, this is a solution worth looking
at. The natural gas version would be better - no one has to come out
and resupply your gas reserve. In either case, so long as you have gas
available, you'll have electrical power.

Here's an example:

A truely adventurous person would get a diesel powered generator, and
brew their own bio-diesel fuel.
