Hollywood star Mark Ruffalo has applauded an “unexpected turn of events” that saw Northern Ireland’s DUP Economy Minister reveal his opposition to fracking.
The decade-long environmental activist has been vocal in his support of campaigns against oil and gas exploration and extraction across Ulster.
Gordon Lyons revealed in an Assembly speech on Sinn Fein’s proposed Fracking Bill this week that his department’s preferred option on fracking as well as oil and gas exploration in Northern Ireland is a moratorium followed by legislation to back it up.
