Response to Greenpeace
Energy Transfer, Statement, September 9, 2024.
On July 23, 2024, Energy Transfer received a letter from Greenpeace requesting that we withdraw our claims in the U.S. lawsuit. Here is our response:
This correspondence serves as the response of Energy Transfer LP, Energy Transfer Operating, L.P., and Dakota Access, LLC (collectively, “Energy Transfer”) to the letter sent by Greenpeace International (“GPI”) on July 23, 2024, and characterized by GPI as a notice of liability (the “Letter”).
GPI’s Letter and its accompanying paid media campaign demonstrate two things: first, GPI is not being silenced, despite what it has been portraying to the public as part of that media campaign—on the contrary, GPI has exercised its free speech rights without limitation—and second, GPI is seeking to sidestep the consequences of its own illegal actions. Energy Transfer will vindicate its legal rights and interests in the ongoing North Dakota state court litigation (the “U.S. Lawsuit”) and will stand in opposition to GPI’s repeated attempts to avoid accountability for breaking the law.
