Greenpeace to pay 300 million over Dakota Access Pipeline involvement

A judge is ordering Greenpeace to pay over 300 million dollars in damages for its involvement in protests over the Dakota Access Pipeline. The verdict came after the pipeline’s operator, Energy Transfer, brought a lawsuit against Greenpeace, accusing it of harming the company’s reputation when the protests began nearly a decade ago. The large sum of money is actually half of the original lawsuit’s price tag.
