Abiotic oil is one of those crazy ideas that is getting a foothold among certain parts of the right-o-sphere. Corsi was pimping the idea back when oil was setting price highs.

Freeman Dyson wrote the foreword to Thomas Gold’s book, The Deep Hot Biosphere. Dyson thinks Gold was right about abiotic oil.

Abiotic oil is also covered in the book Nine Crazy Ideas in Science, by Robert Ehlich, professor and Department Chair at George Mason University. On a scale of from zero to four cuckoos — four cuckoos being the most improbable — he gives abiotic oil zero cuckoos.
