Closing arguments set in Energy Transfer vs. Greenpeace case

The long-running legal battle between Energy Transfer and Greenpeace over the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) enters its final stage today with closing arguments. The $300 million lawsuit claims Greenpeace incited violence and defamation during the 2016 protests, leading to a five-month delay in pipeline construction and financial losses for Energy Transfer. Greenpeace maintains it only relayed truthful information and did not promote unlawful acts. The case also involves disputes over the definition of tribal land and sacred sites. The jury will begin deliberations soon.
