Poseidon Energy was a pre-War energy conglomerate that operated a number of oil rigs, factories, refineries, gas stations, and power plants and with further operations in military defense contracts.

Background
Poseidon Energy was focused on renewable and non-renewable power sources on both the east and west coasts of America.[1] The company researched and developed weapons as well as held interests through their subsidiaries, such as Poseidon Oil and Gasoline.[2][3][4] Utilizing PoseidoNet, a national transfer system that provided communication between various facilities.
Poseidon Energy had several subsidiaries, projects, and products. Poseidon Energy was also engaged in alternative energy sources, such as solar and an affiliate, Petró-Chico in Mexico. The company utilized the Poseidon Power Management System in Appalachia to operate its nuclear power plants.[5] The U-235 series outboard motor was developed by the company, advertised as an atomic outboard boat motor.[6] Poseidon cooperated with other companies, such as Atomic Mining Services, and was openly hostile to organized labor. When workers organized a walkout at Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06, supported by the Associated Miner's Union, the corporation called in the National Guard, which proceeded to gas the protesters using HalluciGen, Inc.'s riot control gas.[7]
Some of Poseidon's most promising research projects never reached their final stages.[8] In the post-atomic world, technology scavengers like the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave still try in vain to decipher Poseidon's plans and either confiscate this technology or turn them into working models.[9] Conversely, Poseidon employees such as Karl Oslow left due to work dissatisfaction.[10] In Oslow's case, they became competitors themselves, founding competing company, Mass Fusion.[10]

- ↑ Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Rulebook p. 231: "Poseidon was infamous for aggressive strategies in maintaining its market share and profit margins. It operated with a bewildering array of sub-corporations, daughter organizations, and cat’s paws. These ranged from overt branding efforts like Poseidon Oil and Poseidon Gasoline, to back-channel deals made with lobbyists paid millions to make the company billions."
- ↑ Maxson bunker design dcument page 3: "In the year 2067, Senator Todd Peterson decided to build a secret bunker to house himself and his family should war break out. Senator Peterson was a wealthy man in his own right, but lacked the funds necessary for such a project. Through secret dealings with Poseidon Oil and a covert branch of the government known as the Enclave, the final funding for the project was attained. A construction sight was chosen in southern Colorado and work began."
- ↑ Fallout Bible 8: "Poseidon Oil (during the Pre-War years) would not want its tankers using fusion cells because that would run contrary to the image of the company, despite its practicality. Plus, the idea of something so big running on something so small hurts its self-confidence."
