Can anyone think of any odd generator types? IC2 has pretty much all of them apart from oil and gas.
Perhaps a thermopile? The only logical generator I could think of that is worth using.
Antimatter is simply unviable as it would need to be extracted out of the magnetosphere, which would take a huge amount of time and effort 
Some kind of solar boiler I guess, creating steam
It might be a better idea to focus on the whole steam thing anyway though, for the nuclear reactors.
i think the next logical question should be this:
Should IC2
maintain a 100% stand-alone block scheme(pre-experimental),
maintain a mostly stand-alone block scheme, but have blocks that work with the most common mods used with ic2 (experimental mindset).
maintain a loose stand-alone block scheme, and design blocks knowing other mods will be added.
here is my train of thought. stand alone does not mean 0 multimod interoperability. Currently, reactors can be set to generate steam, but if i were to install IC2 alone, i would have no use for steam, but expect some use for it in upcoming releases, if ic2 were 100% stand alone.
if it were mostly standalone(as it is currently in the experimental version), i would expect the steam to be an option, but not expect much balance out of it update-to-update.
if it were a loose stand-alone, i would expect steam to be a major decision before starting a world, with both methods balanced against each other, and any gains given by other mods.
getonwithit: maybe IC2 should see if they can make a steam turbine, or perhaps trade/share the buildcraft/railcraft turbine so it would be available in an ic2-only world?
Can they even output steam, if there isn't any mod adding the steam? (Railcraft or Gregtech are the main 2 I can think of)
Solar Boiler is about the only thing I can think of as well that isn't done by GregTech. Of course, you could add in a feature where anti-matter could be manufactured by corrupting UU-Matter in such a way that causes it to destroy (instead of create) new objects. Now, how to balance it where it generates a positive yield and not be completely OP, is up to the devs.
how about a method of transmitting EV-EU wirelessly over a distance?
What about a real Geothermal generator which digs up its tunnel (like explained somewhere in the GT suggestion thread)? Thus simply making lava burnable at a common generator.

A fart generator! Oh, right, GregTech already has that one. A solar boiler sounds pretty rad, though.
I'd like to see a treadmill with animals running over it for EU.
Even a stupid hand-dynamo that generates a few EU per click.
Sometimes cl looks like d. This was one of the hilarious occassions
My click (on adfly) is worth $ 0,0005

And I guess it only woks once per IP and can not be done if you are logged inas the one profiting and has another crapload of safeguards to ensure that one can't spam money?

Coming from someone who did their exams a few months ago, Good luck sir, your going to need it.

mr10movie: since you asked for luck, I could have given you tough luck aswell.
Greg, did you modify IC2's code to be more lagfree on build 357?
Hey mr10movie, good luck.
I got a good fortune thingy from the Amakusa Temple 
Greg, did you modify IC2's code to be more lagfree on build 357?
Nope, I just made it more readable. Eclipse showed me a shitload of Warnings in the IC² Code, and I fixed all of them, and during that I even found some Bugs.
Who the fuck uses try {Object.member.function();} catch(NullPointerException e) {return null;} instead of a simple Object.member != null check?

It looks more intelligent/fancy?

Yes
(well, it seems that you've shortened the code and that may [or not?] improve performance)
