Senator John Hoeven has commented on a North Dakota jury's decision favoring Energy Transfer in its lawsuit against Greenpeace. The case was centered around Greenpeace's involvement in protests opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline.

"The Dakota Access Pipeline was built with the latest, greatest technology and safety features, and the company went through all of the required regulatory and permitting steps. These facts are reaffirmed by today’s decision in court," stated Senator Hoeven. He emphasized the pipeline's significance to both North Dakota's role as an energy leader and national energy security. Hoeven further noted, "We will continue working to provide regulatory certainty for this and energy projects across the country, taking the handcuffs off our energy producers to make the U.S. truly energy dominant."
