A Greenpeace blimp, protesting Exxon, headed back to Dallas Executive Airport after flying over Dallas as Exxon's annual shareholders met at the Meyerson Symphony Center in 2017.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.
“However, when it is not done in accordance with our laws, we have a legal system to deal with that.”The complaint stems from the 2016 protests related to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s assertion that the pipeline puts sacred land at risk and endangered their water supply. The project received international attention as protestors clashed, sometimes violently, with police and private security.
