Texas pipeline company’s $300M lawsuit against Greenpeace heads to trial in North Dakota
- A Texas pipeline company, Energy Transfer, is suing Greenpeace for $300 million, alleging defamation and disruption of its pipeline construction, which Greenpeace denies, claiming no involvement in protests.
- Energy Transfer states it incurred over $82 million in costs due to Greenpeace's actions, while Greenpeace argues the lawsuit is an abuse of the legal system against free speech.
- The lawsuit stems from protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline, which the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe opposes due to water contamination concerns, with jury selection recently completed for the trial.
- Greenpeace International has countersued Energy Transfer in Amsterdam, asserting wrongful actions by the company, as the legal battle represents a critical test of First Amendment rights in the U.S.
