I was just googling for some experiment I was told about where people
lived without light for extremely long (read: a year) periods of time, and
something like 90% of them commited suicide within a year of the end of
the experiment.

I didn't find that, but I found LOTS of sites linking High Voltage Power
Lines to Suicide.

"The evidence may be conflicting, but few independent experts are scoffing
now at the idea that "electromagnetic smog" or "electropollution" may
promote cancer, birth defects, miscarriages, and other health disasters.
(See, for example, the National Institutes of Health's 1998 report by
Portier and Wolfe.) It now seems reasonable that there may be subtler,
neurobehavioral prices to pay too.

Two forms of electromagnetic smog are causing the most concern: the
nonionizing electromagnetic radiation (NEMR) emitted primarily by
broadcast towers, radar installations, and microwave appliances, and the
magnetic fields surrounding electrical appliances and power lines.

Even at low exposure levels, NEMR and magnetic fields can interfere with
subtle electrobiochemical processes. Weak power-line-frequency magnetic
fields have been shown to induce depression-like abnormalities in
neurotransmitter and endorphin levels and body rhythms, and to impair
sleep quality. "
