After some time playing on a map with two friends it seems the current power supply is insufficient.
The actual power upgrade is not the big deal here, its more the aesthetics and functionality.
I need a power plant that have MJ power(thermal expansion), Blue-tricity and IC2 power integrated in one building, also I prefer if the majority of this building is made of warded stone (specially if IC2 will be using nuclear power but also in case of explosives/creepers (yes I'm that clumsy))
I had a design in mind but have no real idea of how to build this in minecraft.
I would prefer if it looked like this but could go with any other designs.

For Blue-tricity I want the power to be hooked up to a wireless charging station based on the design below and also have a spot for an output line for nearby buildings:
For MJ (thermal expansion) I was thinking of going with lava power, using the engines who only run on lava to generate power would be a reliable source using a pump sucking up the nether and storing it in 1 to several railcraft tanks (depending on size), the power should be run to a recharge room for energy cells to be picked up and also have a spot for an output line for nearby buildings.
For IC2 power I know there is a lot of ways to do this but I want a power supply as self sustainable as possible without the need for maintenance or resupply.
HV solar panels could be used but as they are immensely expensive I wouldn't go large scale if possible.
Thermal generators (I believe they are called) could be useful if hooked up to the same lava supply as the MJ power but I am unsure of if this is a reliable source of energy for large factories and mass fabricators.
Nuclear, as mentioned earlier, I am clumsy and might end up blowing up everything.. and also I don't want to be maintaining this power plant too much if possible. If this can be done with minimal maintenance and risk I wouldn't mind but as I have plenty of resources I have plenty enough to make any of the above stated generators large enough to equal out average nuclear. (I think)
If any one is able to make a power plant that both looks awesome and works like a charm I would LOVE to hear from any of you.
