I know this isn't very helpful for right now, but if you can't afford a generator (best option), then at least get a kerosene heater and some kerosene and have it designated for the greenhouse, and ready all winter. You might get a little leaf damage from the fumes on some sensitive plants like poinsettias, plumerias, but I can keep my 20x20 above freezing with one of those big round ones.
