The Dakota Access Pipeline is facing legal challenges from Energy Transfer, which accuses Greenpeace of defamation and conspiracy due to its involvement in protests against the pipeline. The trial highlighted claims that Greenpeace engaged in misleading practices to disrupt the project, while Greenpeace's defense contended their limited involvement in the protests. The case is closely tied to the concerns of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe over potential environmental risks, including water safety, linked to the pipeline's route across the Missouri River. The jury is tasked with deciding damages in this high-stakes case.
Cox stated that Greenpeace exploited a small local issue to promote its agenda, calling them 'master manipulators' and indicating their deceptive practices to influence protests.
Greenpeace's attorneys argued during closing statements that the organization had minimal involvement in the protests at the Dakota Access Pipeline, countering the allegations made by Energy Transfer.
