Ditch the diesel generator. Switch an lp/hydrogen generator.

For $15,000 you can have a 1.8 megawatt wind generator with the
inverter, 50ft tower and the electronics to tie it the grid at 240vac.
Compliment that with a $26,000 solar array and a $15,000 hydrogen
generator. Get $5,000 worth the marine batteries.  

Instead of hooking it to the grid and thereby subsidizing your local
coal burning power plant, build your own little power grid to power your
stuff. Use the excess electricity to charge the batteries and to produce
hydrogen.  Store  the hydrogen in an lp tank. When there's no sun, use
the hydrogen to run the generator. You can also use the hydrogen to heat
your house.

This way the only thing you have to worry about is a lawn mower running
over the coax cable that mediacom laid on the ground from the pole to
the house.
