An MFE with an IC2 Standard Generator hooked up to an energy bridge powers it with little work. Unless you have tons of MFSUs full with energy, converting EU to MJ is a bad idea. It takes a little more than 2 EU to make 1 MJ, and you will need 10000s of MJs just to make simple gates... Yes, but it's a safer and more effective route rather than having BC engines doing the work. Afterall, those things can explode. What I did was make a little set of solar engines aside from my main supply of energy to power it into an energy cell.
