A North Dakota judge has said he will order Greenpeace to pay damages expected to total $345 million in connection with protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline from nearly a decade ago, a figure the environmental group contends it cannot pay.
In court papers filed Tuesday, Judge James Gion said he would sign an order requiring several Greenpeace entities to pay the judgment to pipeline company Energy Transfer. He set that amount at $345 million last year in a decision that reduced a jury’s damages by about half, but his latest filing didn’t specify a final amount.
The long-awaited order is expected to launch an appeal process in the North Dakota Supreme Court from both sides.
Last year, a nine-person jury found Netherlands-based Greenpeace International, Greenpeace USA and funding arm Greenpeace Fund Inc. liable for defamation and other claims brought by Dallas-based Energy Transfer and subsidiary Dakota Access.
And how much will the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe … and all their supportive NGO’s have to pay?

We need that here…..we can start with the Green prick Steven Guilbeault.
Amazing how much environmental damage Greenpeace generates.
Including when it and other Mama Gaia cultists successfully stymied nuclear power plant construction.
now that Australian LNG is being shipped to New Brunswick, can the LNG producers in Canada sue the Liberals for their stupidity? (There is no business case for LNG – Justyn Trudeau)
Kill the financing machine.
Excellent. During the examination of the debtor, require the names of all contributors to Greenpeace. Attach the assets of all the billionaires and NGOs. They’ll get their money.
Just a quick google – Greenpeace International scams about $400 million USD annually. This does not include Greenpeace USA ($40Million USD) or any of the other national organizations.
They can afford to pay.
My response to Greenpeace is “If you cannot pay, then do not play (or do damages)” This is also akin to my saying ” Do not spend money you do not have!”
