The government is already aware that its plans to expand fracking activity in the UK will face opposition from green campaigners and local protesters, but they probably had not banked on Sir Paul McCartney leading the calls for a moratorium on shale gas exploration. A major new campaign kicked off today under the banner we need to talk about fracking with over 150 celebrities, scientists, and campaign groups endorsing calls for a fundamental rethink of the governments shale gas strategy. ........ A host of high profile names from the worlds of music, film, art, and science were among the first to sign the petition, including Sir Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, Helena Bonham-Carter, Alan Carr, Noel Fielding, Lily Cole, George Monbiot, Will Self, Jude Law, Russell Brand, Sir Anthony Gormley, Thom Yorke, Chrissie Hynde and Tracey Emin. https://youtube/watch?v=6jc9LoX41ho businessgreen/bg/news/2347750/sir-paul-mccartney-leads-new-band-of-celebrity-fracking-campaigners
