05:59 PM EDT, 03/19/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Energy Transfer ( ET ) prevailed Wednesday in its legal fight accusing Greenpeace and other environmental activists of causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damages during protests nearly a decade ago over the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota, according to multiple media reports.

A jury found Greenpeace and its allies liable for more than $650 million in damages linked to the protests, the reports said. The company completed the pipeline in 2017.

Greenpeace expects to appeal, a legal advisor for the organization told the Associated Press.
