Grow resources instead of mining them! Everything starts with two base materials:
Inferium Essence – from mp;2Inferium Oremp;r (Y −32 to 64) and a 20 % drop from every mob you kill.
Prosperity Shard – from mp;2Prosperity Oremp;r (Y −60 to 24).
First goal: 
Inferium Seeds (8 Inferium Essence around a wheat seed). Plant them on farmland – they grow like wheat and drop Inferium Essence.
This mod needs no power.
