My electric co-op will sell you a propane/natural gas powered auto start
generator cheap and financed at very low interest if you sign up for the
interruptible power plan.  Electric rate is below .05 per KWH too.

Or you could get an industrial battery back up for a couple grand and have at
least 24 hours of power for a sump pump.
