Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
A North Dakota judge has finalized an order requiring Greenpeace to pay $345 million to Energy Transfer, the developer of the Dakota Access Pipeline. This follows a nearly yearlong legal battle after a jury originally ordered Greenpeace to pay $667 million in March 2025, finding the environmental group liable for harming the company during anti-pipeline protests in 2016-2017 and for publishing false statements that damaged the company's reputation. Greenpeace denies the allegations and claims the lawsuit is a strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP).
