Greenpeace Loses in North Dakota Lawsuit
Greenpeace must pay over $660 million for defaming Energy Transfer during Dakota Access Pipeline protests. A jury found Greenpeace USA liable for $404 million, while Greenpeace Fund Inc. and Greenpeace International owe $131 million each. Energy Transfer alleged Greenpeace bolstered protesters with supplies and training, leading to illegal actions against pipeline construction. The case, one of North Dakota’s most complex civil suits, highlighted issues like protester property damage and economic losses for Energy Transfer. Greenpeace argued the lawsuit suppressed free speech. The decision underscores the distinction between peaceful and violent protests, as Greenpeace plans to appeal.
