Buying a generator is as poor replacement for grid power as starting a WordPress blog. If you want to live an off grid life in the woods you might as well blog like itβs 2004.

You can rent a big gen-set (like what they use for temp power to large outdoor events, construction sites, etc) for decently cheap (cheap in terms of business expenses). Should be able to get you by long enough for a judge to tell the power company to quit dicking around.
The funny (sad) thing is that these utilities are almost easier to work around Twitter in this case.
Power company cuts you off? Buy a generator, no big deal.
Town turns off your water. IBC totes are cheap.
Comcast terminates your account? Verizon is happy to pay you money and if they aren't where you are then you can suck it up and by satellite.
If your a media business and Twitter/Facebook won't let you advertise and breaks links to your content you're basically screwed. There are no real alternatives because that's wher your users are.
