Texas pipeline company’s $300M lawsuit against Greenpeace heads to trial in North Dakota

A Texas pipeline company is suing Greenpeace for $300 million, claiming they disrupted construction in North Dakota and defamed the company, according to an attorney for Energy Transfer.

Greenpeace International filed a countersuit against Energy Transfer, asserting that the lawsuit is meritless and claims that the ongoing trial may financially devastate Greenpeace if they lose, threatening their 50 years of environmental activism.
