People often do not realize that slavery was common in every culture on the planet up until the Industrial Revolution set us all free. Oil went to work instead of human backs. We have viable replacements like nuclear, but it has been over-regulated to the point of strangulation. We need fresh thoughts in this area instead of just "oil bad". Hopefully this individual brings that.
Scientific ignorance is not a "fresh thought". It's just ignorance. And I have severe doubts about the ability of an ignorant individual to have any bright ideas on the area.
