Supply controlled energy grid.

Money is extremely good at influencing energy demand. If your power bill increases tenfold per kwh at night then you will do your laundry during the day when it’s cheap. It only requires smart electric meters which are starting to be the norm.

Electric cars can further function as home batteries if they support bidirectional charging.

Self-immolation by Tibetans is a fairly regular occurrence, I’m not sure what to make of it. It’s a possible way to grab attention, like the US solider self-immolating in support of Palestine some time back. Though I doubt many media outlets are interested about Tibet nowadays.

There’s a Wikipedia article documenting this phenomena:
