Greenpeace USA faces reckoning over Dakota Access protests with $300M lawsuit
Climate skeptic Marc Morano, publisher of Climate Depot, was dubious of Greenpeace USA’s “going-out-of-business” warnings, dismissing them as “another fundraising appeal.” “I’m sure they will use it as a great fundraising tool to keep themselves alive,” Mr. Morano said in an email. “After all, who would replace Greenpeace’s voice when it comes to raising climate alarm or trying to destroy the global energy supply and hammering consumers with higher energy costs for no particular reason?”

The 2016 Dakota Access Pipeline protests failed to stop the energy project from being completed, and they could wind up bankrupting Greenpeace USA.
The environmental advocacy group has warned that it could go bust if a North Dakota jury rules in favor of Energy Transfer’s $300 million lawsuit. The lawsuit accuses Greenpeace entities of helping fund and train the activists who wreaked havoc on the pipeline’s construction in the name of protecting the environment.
“While the money may not be important to Energy Transfer, a $300 million judgment would shut down Greenpeace USA,” Charlie Cray, Greenpeace USA senior strategist, said in a video posted by the group called “Greenpeace on Trial.”
