Jerome Corsi is an American author and political commentator known for his 'controversial' books and commentary on topics like politics, energy, globalism and, in this instance, oil.
More specifically, that oil is not a fossil fuel.
The fossil fuel myth props up scarcity fears—abiotic oil flows from Earth’s core, defying peak oil predictions.
— Vladimir Kutcherov, petroleum engineer
What is oil, then?
Jerome argues that oil is an abiotic substance continuously produced deep within the Earth's mantle through chemical reactions.
His view is echoed by many scientists, engineers, and others.
The common understanding of a fossil fuel is that it is a natural fuel, such as coal, oil, or natural gas, formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient plants and animals.

Or dinoasaurs. (That's my favourite. 😂)
Russian geologists tapped 80 Caspian fields in crystalline rock—abiotic theory works where fossil dogma fails.
— V A Krayushkin, geologist
Simply put, oil and water are Earth’s most abundant liquids, neither ever running out.
For example, methane could form from the reaction of carbon dioxide with hydrogen released from various minerals in the presence of heat and pressure, without any biological material involved. These hydrocarbons then slowly migrate upward to form oil and gas deposits.
This explains why multiple oil wells, previously thought dry, are producing again.
- Romashinskoye Oilfield, Russia: Wells R-101 and R-108, previously abandoned, confirmed to produce oil again.
- Bradford, Pennsylvania: Titusville well #3 and McClintock #1, from the 1877 boom, continue to yield oil and methane.
- Permian Basin, Texas: Santa Rita #1 and Radford Grocery #17, once thought depleted, maintain low-level oil output.
Oil’s not running out—Earth’s asthenosphere churns hydrocarbons, migrating up through faults to fill reservoirs.
— Nikolai Kudryavtsev, geologist
What does this mean?
It means oil isn’t scarce and fearmongering about depletion inflates prices, boosting the lucrative ‘green energy’ industry.
It means oil is weaponised as a political and economic tool.
'Oil is weaponised'
It means people are pushed into buying crappy electric cars. Meanwhile, Elon Musk sold most of his Tesla shares (in 2022) because he knows electric cars will never be superior to internal combustion cars.
Here in South Africa, with rolling blackouts and a big off-road culture, how are we expected to move around? 😂
I will stick to diesel, thanks.
The biotic oil tale is 18th-century nonsense—thermodynamics backs abiotic formation, endless as Earth’s heat.
— J F Kenney, physicist
I’ve been a member of the Mavericks Project for years, a global network founded by guys I know, buffering against central control. They don't accept all applications because they focus on quality, not quantity.
🎙️ Podcast episode
Jerome discussed the above with me, including the history of the abiotic oil theory, which he says was discovered by the Nazis, although it appears that abiotic oil theory predates the Nazis, from what I've read.
Nonetheless, the core argument remains watertight, in my view.
