Eco Bullies Face Blowback As Greenpeace Takes $660M Legal Hit
The 'environmental goon squad' finally meets resistance as companies fight back.

When Greenpeace lost a recent $660 million case over its organization of a violent pipeline protest, the most unusual part of the story was neither the jury confirming that environmental organizations do this sort of thing all the time (they do) nor the size of the verdict (although that was impressive).

The most interesting part of the story was that an energy company and its top executive had finally stood up to the strong-arm tactics routinely employed by professional environmental political operatives and grifters rather than caving to their ridiculous demands.
In 2016, Greenpeace deployed operatives and assorted stooges to North Dakota to organize opposition to a pipeline being constructed by Energy Transfer, based in Texas.
The crew at Greenpeace provided funding and equipment to the protesters, who lit fires, destroyed equipment, fought private security and law enforcement officers, trespassed on private property, chained themselves to construction vehicles, and just generally became a public nuisance.
