So I already have two steam boilers set up, so I am set for MJ production, but I am currently lacking pretty seriously when it comes to IC2 power. I plan on setting up a Solar-From-UU-to-produce-more-UU-and-Solars-Factory, but I dont want solar power to be the main source of my IC2 power for machines and such. It seems a bit too easy and setup free for me. I like to have to think about how my power is being produced, and solar is just not fun enough for me. Any suggestions?
Most fun method of IC2 Power Gen?

you could go nuclear, which has many ways of setting up. if you already have boilers going, you could also go for a steam turbine.
you could also use biomass/fuel in a biogenerator to produce EU, thought that's not really efficient unless you have alot of them in my opinion.

im a big fan of the zombie farm that gives you rotten flesh that you make in to methane cells that you can burn for eu, not the most practical thing but good fun
Well I don't really have the copper necessary for nuclear reactors; the only good (and completely safe) design I have ever made with them needs A LOT of copper...hm. Dont really have the steel needed for a turbine either. As for the zombie farm, I am playing the DW20 pack, which has GregTech disabled. I believe gregtech adds methane and all that, so thats out of the question as well. This is not going to be easy lol. I might just set up a blaze farm using SS and then feed the rods into generators. We will see. Thanks for all the suggestions though, keep 'em coming!
Hard to beat this design:

100EU/t
Under 4 stacks of copper to setup and none to maintain.

Now some people don't like gregtech, but if you're really interested in more interesting methods of IC2 power gen, it would have to be found in Gregtech. Nuclear is really fun, you can always try out different configurations on the planner. I guess you could go Magma Crucibles>Geothermal Generators. It's not as fun as Nuclear, especially when you make a breeder reactor and create 8 uranium cells out of one.
Wow! Thanks man. This looks epic!Hard to beat this design:

That would require some initial power for the recylers, but I might look into it. Thanks
Ladies and gentle men my amazing idea for you is.......use a xycraft tank routers and watermills to make a giant watermill farm. tried it in creative once semi complete.
people still use reactors? those things are so underpowered, max eu is like 300/t, it can explode, is expensive, and outputs almost nothing.
