Dakota Access Pipeline Case

Greenpeace ordered to pay $660 million in damages over pipeline protests

Energy Transfer Partners, a $70 billion oil and gas company, sued Greenpeace in 2016 and 2017, alleging defamation and other claims. A jury in Mandan, North Dakota, ruled in favor of Energy Transfer, awarding at least $660 million in damages. The damages will be spread across three Greenpeace entities. Greenpeace has stated that the lawsuit may force them to cease operations in the United States.
