FYI.
Regarding the suggestion that electric supply be cut off to make a point. Back
in about 1972, I recollect that one particular small town in Japan was
actively opposing a nuclear plant proposal. The Japanese utility involved
[Kansai Electric Company, I believe] issued a statement that they intended to
shut off power to the town so that:

"They may keenly appreciate the necessity of electric power." 

The exact statement appeared in Environment Magazine at that time.  I could
probably locate an exact reference for this occurence, but it would take a
little digging on my part.
