I'm still rather interested in the "Gated Upper Class versus Wasteland Lower Class" sort of scenario, as Haibane explained so eloquently.<br/><br/>As for Corvus' idea, I think that it would also work...but it would be tricky.  While he is correct that normal power plants would eventually just shut themselves down from lack of upkeep, I don't think the same could be said for<em>nuclear</em>power plants.  Now a Meltdown does not mean an explosive reaction like most people seem to think, but I've been told that after about a month without being staffed they would indeed fail in a rather spectacular manner.  It wouldn't mean the end of all life, but certain areas of the world would essentially become Chernobyl 2.0 on a massive scale.
