I know a bloke who lives on a river. He has solar, wind turbine and a water wheel. Completely self sufficient 24/7 bloody expensive setup though.

All good if you have the money and live in a remote area, there is even Off grid and remote power system rebates from the government if your 1 kilometre from the nearest main-grid line or less than 1 kilometre where written evidence from the local network service provider states the total cost of connecting the systems to the main-grid is more than $30,000.
