I'm sorry, but this is such nonsense. If it's true, then why was Hitler so determined to capture the oil fields of the USSR and elsewhere (with his long-term sights set on the Middle East)? The Germans did learn how to convert coal (which they had plenty of) into synthetic oil and gasoline, but it was an expensive, energy-intensive process that couldn't satisfy their long-term energy needs.
And why didn't they share this secret with their Japanese allies, who had even bigger problems with their oil supply?
The Bakken formation is not light, sweet crude oil, it's shale, which is basically oil that has hardened and is imbedded in rock. It's a nasty, polluting process recovering it. Like the tar sands of Canada, they would not be going after such awful crap if the old crude oil fields of Texas, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and California were refilling with abiotic oil (which they aren't). The Anglo-American powers wouldn't be trying to dominate the Middle East and other oil-producing nations if it was true. They wouldn't be trying to reach shale gas and oil with these poisonous fracking wells. Huge amounts of fresh water have to be contaminated to recover all of these types of energy.
"If Peak Oil theories are right, why do we have more worldwide oil reserves today than every before?" Corsi's book asks. Because Corsi doesn't understand that they're lumping shale, tar sands and other unconventional fossil fuels into the total.
