If I had to pick one outlandish conspiracy theory to believe, it would be that the Chernobyl disaster was not an accident. It seems unlikely that someone could accidentally engineer a reactor as ludicrously unsafe as Chernobyl, at the time it was built. And you couldn't plan a better PR move to turn people against nuclear power. Guess which large-ish economy is built on petrochemical exports? But I'm ignoring Hanlon's Razor, of course.
