Well, I agree with NOTA, for once. Get the equipment to build several windmills. You can build the blades from large PVC pipes. Car alternators can be used for power gen and are cheap.
As far as a fuel based generator, Diesel stores better than gasoline. Almost all emergancy backup power generators are "Distillate" fueled. And you can buy virtually untaxed diesel as #2 home heating fuel. And Purchasing several home heating fuel tanks won't set off too many alarms.
If the electrical grid goes down, the natural gas supply will go as well, at least eventually. If you are worried about short term electricity disruption, Natural Gas is a good alternative. If you're thinking about long term (months, years), I'd go diesel and store a lot of fuel.
