“In 1933 Charles Nelson Pogue made headlines when he drove a 1932 Ford V8, 200 miles on a gallon of gas during a demonstration conducted by The Ford Motor Company in Winnipeg, Manitoba using his super-carb system.” The Pogue Carb went into production and was sold openly. [317 were sold?] In the opening months of 1936, stock exchange offices and brokers were swamped with orders to dump all oil stock immediately. His invention caused such shock waves through the stock market, that the US and Canadian governments both stepped in and [successfully] applied pressure to stifle him.
What if the story of Charles Nelson Pogue and his revolutionary carburetor is just the tip of the iceberg? Could it be that the suppression of his invention was part of a larger conspiracy to maintain the status quo of the oil industry? What other technologies might have been stifled to protect corporate interests?
What if Charles Nelson Pogue's astonishing fuel efficiency claims were merely the tip of the iceberg? Could it be that powerful interests have consistently stifled advancements in sustainable energy to protect their profits? As we witness the ongoing climate crisis, how many more innovative technologies are being silenced today?
