2:03 PM on Sep 9, 2024 GMT-5 — Updated at 4:17 PM on Sep 9, 2024 GMT-5A Dallas energy company’s lawsuit against Greenpeace threatens to bankrupt the environmental group’s U.S. arm, a longtime opponent to fossil fuel interests.
Dallas pipeline company Energy Transfer is suing several Greenpeace International entities for $300 million in damages with claims relating to protests surrounding the construction of the nearly 1,200-mile-long Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016.
Greenpeace USA said in a June post on their website that a loss in the case “could threaten to put Greenpeace on the sidelines of the fight for climate justice.” The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that the lawsuit puts the environmental group’s U.S. affiliate at risk of bankruptcy, but likely doesn’t affect Greenpeace’s international operations, based in Amsterdam.

Let’s hope Texan justice is swift. Lets hope hearings into the alleged violations of the law are expedited and treated as a priority by the courts, that any court redress of any wrongs stands as a lesson to those who believe the law and respect for the rights of others does not apply to them.

Please let this happen ! 🙂
Someone will bail them out.
Probably the US taxpayers. 🙁
Putin has the reason and the money. He probably been funding them for years
China
The problem is that there are a lot of green NGOs, so dealing with just Greenpeace will not suffice.
Sadly that is true. They pop up like weeds, or cockroaches.
But it’s good to see some push back and fighting back.
Go to the sources of their enablers.
“The problem is that there are a lot of green NGOs, so dealing with just Greenpeace will not suffice.”
True, but incentives do matter.
I don’t think deep pocket Lefties will continue massive funding of these NGOs, only to have that money eventually end up in the pockets of Texas oil men!
That would be intolerable.
Deep pocket LEFTIES ? Those who belong to the by the left so hated 1 % ? Those flying private jets Drinking expensive wine ?
What exactly is Left about them ?
their guilt complex
Their phoniness
Soros comes to mind. And the Billionaire who spoke at the DNC. Yes, they’re all hypocrites.
Also Bill Gates.
Start with, they ain’t Right about anything.
Their intolerable obsession with demanding everyone else follow their rules. You know, all those rules that don’t apply to the people that make them.
That being said, NGOs are all now on notice that there can be / will be push back based on this suit – maybe they will think twice before taking actions if they know there may be repercussions for baseless actions
Greenpeace tried it on with the Russians by invading their drilling rigs in the Arctic. The Russians jailed them for four months. It worked – Greenpeace hasn’t been back.
Which shows that the cowards only go for easy targets. Growing a spine could do wonders.
Just for four months.
Four months is more than long enough in a Russian prison in the Arctic.
Greenpeace and groups like Greenpeace have caused a lot of harm in the form of costing the rest of us a lot of money, making needed resources less available and at higher cost, delaying or stopping needed energy like nuclear raising the cost, delaying needed pipelines causing disruption in supply and raising cost, wasting valuable court time for no good reason other than delay or stop the energy we need raising our costs and so on and so on. They need to pay for all the delays and costs they have caused.
Greenpeace is just one of the many puppet organisations used as a tool by those in power and therefore the law does not affect them.
Greenpeace had a real agenda for things that needed to be corrected – in the beginning.
Once those were accomplished, they had no reason to exist, so they created crises to justify their existence.
We see that all over. EPA had a real purpose in the beginning. So, instead of closing up shop with a job well done, the fine smaller and smaller non-issues to emotionalize so they can justify their existence.
Defeating Greenpeace will have major repercussions. This isn’t over until the fat lady sings. ( can I say “fat”, or “lady” without being targeted? )
…. 😉
Yes, as long as you don’t use them togeth…oops, nevermind.
The WSJ article was great ; if you have access, I recommend reading
Don’t Mess With Texas!
Getting to the activist organizations, and more importantly the “philanthropists” who fund them will be the key. There’s no point in going after the low level activists, because they don’t have two pennies to rub together. Greenpeace would be a big fish, but there are bigger, the shady NGOs and family trusts that provide the lions share of the funding in order to have these “grass roots” organizations advocate in their interests.
“Greenpeace would be a big fish, but there are bigger, the shady NGOs and family trusts”
Yes, the shady NGO’s and the family trusts are the real problem.
Too bad that our society has forgotten that our Constitution still permits slavery for criminal punishment. Harm someone financial with your crime… you should be required to pay…by force if necessary.
If you can’t afford millions of dollars of restitution for the damage you caused, then 100% of your wages should go towards the payments. Forced labor is warranted if the individual can’t seem to find a full-time job. I think the biblical limitation of the year of jubilee, (a 7 year limit, like we have for bankruptcy), is the only limitation I can see. (the Bible is the source for many of our laws in the U.S.)
For organized criminal organizations, like Greenpeace, the whole of the membership should be held accountable if they knew their organization was going to do these sorts of things.
Greasepile still pushes the stupid Climate Catastrophe is right around the corner……
That is all I need to know that they are far left cesspool.
Didn’t we hear that Resolute Timber were going to do with their suit against Greenpeace? What happened to that?
Grok tells us:-
The lawsuit between Resolute Forest Products (formerly known as Resolute Timbers) and Greenpeace has seen significant developments over the years:
In summary, while Greenpeace has achieved notable legal victories against Resolute Forest Products, particularly in the U.S. where the lawsuit was dismissed as not meeting the criteria for RICO, the broader resolution of all legal actions between the two entities might still be pending or resolved in a manner not fully detailed in the provided updates.
In a Country where private property is not protected by the State We The People become property of the State = Slavery.
Direct Taxation = Slavery
RICO sounds like one of those laws that can be used against enemies of the state if the state is willing to allow it in the court system, or ignored if it doesn’t suit the state, via dismissal in the courts. In other words, the perfect vehicle for lawfare, regardless of who brings the case.
Trump. Georgia. RICO.
In case it was misunderstood, the RICO case against Trump in Georgia is as bogus as they come.
“Climate justice” that sure sounds scary! Leftists are the most dangerous people.
Other oil and gas companies, especially the big ones like Exxon/Mobil, Conoco Phillips, etc. need to step up as well. There needs to be a full frontal assault on Greenpeace and other not-so-green NGOs.
Oil companies should quietly go to courts in areas where Stop the Oil and other nonsense is present and petition the court to issue a ban and stop work. One can only envision the results.
Hope he nails them, they have preferred to tak the money of marxist elites to deny the founding principles of environmentalism. What they do destroys the cheap energy dependent prosperity of ordinary people while also destroying the environment with useless wall to wall renewable subsidy farms, that profit only the rich elites who build them from subsidies we are forced to pay by their crony politicians. The only measurable effect of more CO2 is to improve plant life, animal food.
Not green and not peaceful. Liars for reward. I hope Greenpeace is utterly bankrupted to shut down their evil so it cannot be rebuilt. Then there’s FoE, WWF and the other captured pseudo environmentalist groups. Perhaps someone can recreate some environmental groups that actually care about flora and fauna? The current crop are far beyond saving.
In an opening scene of Armageddon, Bruce Willis is hitting golf balls at a Greenpeace Protest ship.
He calls out and asks how much oil the ship used to get to his offshore rig.
I cheered.
Thank goodness, sanity at last perhaps?
