Co-Generation/Off-grid Generation is becoming more available to even small installations. The Aerospace division of AlliedSignal is now marketing a small turbine-based power plant that's about the size of a 75-kVA transformer. The unit can produce something like 50-100 kW of power and will run on LP, Natural Gas, Diesel, Gasoline or grandpa's bathtub whiskey. I believe the pricetag is in the $250k range.
