  • Diesel Engine SabotageAn industrial-era theory claiming that oil and gasoline interests targeted inventors, engineers, and entrepreneurs connected to highly efficient diesel technology in order to keep transportation dependent on petroleum retail networks. In its classic form, the theory centers on Rudolf Diesel’s 1913 disappearance and later expands into a broader belief that efficient diesel passenger-car development was repeatedly suppressed to preserve the dominance of gasoline.Updated Apr 20, 2026View →
