A civil trial is set to begin on February 24 to address whether Greenpeace should pay $300 million in damages to Energy Transfer Partners for the 2016-2017 protests by the NoDAPL Water Protectors at Standing Rock. The lawsuit accuses Greenpeace of inciting the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline, which threatens the water supply near the Standing Rock Sioux Nation. The case raises questions about collective liability, as Energy Transfer Partners aims to recover losses attributed to a successful divestment campaign and damages resulting from the protests, which delayed the pipeline's construction.
The lawsuit against Greenpeace attempts to hold them liable for crimes committed by protestors during the Standing Rock protests, seeking $300 million in damages.
The protests against DAPL not only delayed construction but also led to the reevaluation of the project's environmental permits and prompted investor withdrawal.
