Following the verdict, Greenpeace’s senior legal adviser said the organization’s work “is never going stop,” when asked if the amount of damages would end Greenpeace in the United States.

“That’s the really important message today, and we’re just walking out and we’re going to get together and figure out what our next steps are,” Padmanabha said.

The organization said it plans to appeal the decision.

Energy Transfer called the verdict a “win” for residents of Mandan, North Dakota, and across the state.
