Greenpeace is fighting for its life in North Dakota's court system, where a judge has decided to order the environmental group to pay an expected $345 million to an energy company whose Dakota Access oil pipeline construction drew protests nearly a decade ago.
A jury last year found three Greenpeace entities liable for numerous claims and awarded more than $660 million to Energy Transfer in damages, which Judge James Gion cut nearly in half. Once the order he promised Tuesday is formally entered, both sides are expected to appeal to the North Dakota Supreme Court.
The $64 billion, Dallas-based energy conglomerate, which owns and operates thousands of miles of pipelines in 44 states, has objected to the halving of its award. Greenpeace USA has reported cash and assets nowhere near such hefty damages.
“We will be requesting a new trial and, failing that, will appeal the judgment to the Supreme Court of North Dakota, where Greenpeace International and the US Greenpeace entities have solid arguments for the dismissal of all legal claims against us,” Greenpeace International General Counsel Kristin Casper said Thursday.

Netherlands-based Greenpeace International, Greenpeace USA and funding arm Greenpeace Fund Inc. have said they will never stop working to protect the planet.
With footprints in more than 55 countries, Greenpeace calls itself “a global network of independent campaigning organizations that use peaceful protest and creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems and promote solutions that are essential to a green, just, and joyful future.”
Founded in 1971 in Canada by environmental activists seeking to stop nuclear weapons testing in Alaska's Aleutian archipelago, the group sailed a ship to “bear witness” to a test in a Quaker protest tradition.
They were intercepted by the Coast Guard, but it became a win when the U.S. stopped tests on the island. Their name, according to the group's website, was coined when someone left a meeting holding up two fingers and saying “Peace!” to which Canadian ecologist Bill Darnell said, “Let's make it a Green Peace.”
It could have been worse. We could have gone all DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure) on them.
Not much value in capturing a few old shrimp boats and random pairs of overall waders, LOL!
The Greenpeace board is one collection of freaks.
Here is the last line of the description of the last board member.
“Vivian finds joy in dance parties with her fournager and doggy, somatics and healing, masterpieces by Wong Kar Wai and Octavia Butler, and cake, ice cream, or best of all, the combination.

Greenpeace is propped up by very wealthy leftists.
Hopefully, greenpeace will go belly-up into oblivion. What pathetic self-important loons.
ET is my favorite stock, largest holding for about 7 years. Kick GP’s butt ET, love it!
Lawfare is one of the left’s main weapons (ask Trump or Rudy Giuliani ) - often the process is the punishment.
They’ve used this method to put conservative organizations and individuals they don’t like out of business by bankrupting them with legal fees and judgements.
In this case, turn about is fair play - I hope the ND Supreme Court upholds the judgement and puts this organization out of business.
I don’t know what use the Rainbow Warrior will be in North Dakota once their assets are seized.
The “Rainbow Warrior” would make an impressive walleye charter boat on Lake Sakakawea.
That means the big house until they can cough up the dough, no?
Or Mark Steyn who was sued for 12 years.
Tahiti? IT was a stone groove, Jackson.
