What is the most effective form of Blutricity generation? I've found a way to convert Blutricity itself into EU, MJ and Steam, but It takes over 400 Solar panels to be effective on a large scale. While this is relatively cheap, It's still ALOT of work to get it set up. Anyone know of a better way?
Most effective Blutricity? (mindcrack)

No, you're doing it right, Blutricity just doesn't scale that well. Solar is the best option. Kinetic generators (windmills, wind turbines) can outperform solar by a lot during a storm but the rotors need replacing and you probably don't want to modify the weather for this project.
Using Xychronium Ice you can create a maintenance-free Thermopile stack that scales vertically. At three layers tall the stack generates greater amperage per horizontal square meter than a Solar. The initial setup is a little trickier. Also if you tessellate it requires maintenance.

TfT
T= Thermopile
f = lava(source at the top block and flow for all below)
I = Ice created by flowing water into where the Xychronium Ice sits.
X = Xychronium Ice block, must be built first
Three towers sixty tall would equal the same output as the 400 Solars, require 720 Piles, 180 Xychronium Ice, 6 Lava Buckets, and a Water Bucket for during construction.
Is this easier, probably no more than setting up 400 Solars.

The best way is certainly solar pannels without a doubt. It will take quite a large amount of resources, but it's not like you're using that nikolite for much else right?
The three options to generate blutricity are tuned so that there is no 'best'. Thermopiles generate less blutricity than solar panels but they work underground and at night, solar panels do not. Kinetic generators are capable of generating much more energy than either panels or thermopiles but their output is inconsistent (weather dependent) and the turbines/windmills need replacing from time to time. In the end, generating enough blutricity with any method to produce any meaningful amount of MJ/EU is not practical.
You could build a MASSIVE room filled with Thermopiles, on the roof 100% COVERED IN SOLARS! And on the outside could be turbines. Though if you want Blutrcity to turn into MJ or EU, I recommend just making MJ or EU., Although, I must ask, how do you turn Blutricity into MJ/EU?

You can invest a vast amount of resources into generating blutricity and then one day you'll compare it to what you could have gained out of a similar resource quantity applied directly to MJ or EU and cry. RP2 recently added blulectric engines that run on blutricity and produce MJ, but they're just not efficient to run.
That's so wasteful. Just make some regular person energy!
