The trial over the Dakota Access Pipeline involves allegations by Energy Transfer that various Greenpeace entities engaged in coordinated protests that delayed construction. Energy Transfer claims to have faced defamation and other offenses due to Greenpeace's actions during the protests in 2016 and 2017, which were led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe opposing the pipeline. The defense argues that there is insufficient evidence and highlights distinctions between the Greenpeace entities involved. The trial centers around the tension between environmental activism and corporate interests concerning pipeline construction near Indigenous lands.
