Energy Transfer

American Energy Institute CEO Jason Isaac wrote a great op-ed examining the latest legal developments in the long-running battle between Energy Transfer and Greenpeace over the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. The piece argues that a recent North Dakota Supreme Court ruling reinforces the authority of U.S. courts and pushes back against what Isaac describes as “eco-lawfare” targeting America’s energy infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/gPkj98zj

We are glad to continue our support of the Special Olympics Texas Summer Games with a $35,000 donation, celebrating the incredible athletes whose determination, talent, and spirit inspire us all. We also enjoyed participating in the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run alongside the Dallas Police Department to help celebrate the opening of the Games. From the athletes who arrived ready to compete, to the families, partner agencies, sponsors, and community members cheering them on, the Summer Games were a beautiful reminder of what’s possible when we unite in support of inclusion, courage, and opportunity for all.

Abuse of EU legislation? This Dutch article in OpinieZ explains that Greenpeace’s legal action against Energy Transfer in the Netherlands is an attempt to overturn a U.S. court ruling via EU legislation, raising questions about misuse of the EU anti-SLAPP framework. The piece also highlights broader concerns, including potential implications for transatlantic investment and legal overreach if European courts were to reassess U.S. verdicts. https://lnkd.in/gK-_SDvM

Each year, we donate $500,000 to the Annual Disaster Giving Program for the American Red Cross, as well as $200,000 to support their general operations. After a disaster, the Red Cross works with community partners to provide clean water, safe shelter and hot meals. Did you know? They respond to an average of about 65,000 disasters every year. That includes home fires, hurricanes, wildfires, and floods. Each disaster is different, but the Red Cross adapts their resources to the needs of the people they serve.

In the coming weeks, the Dutch court will examine whether it has jurisdiction to overturn the verdicts of American juries and American judges, based on a case between Energy Transfer and Greenpeace. This article in Achgut, a popular opinion platform in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, warns about the legal and political sensitivity of European courts reassessing American rulings.

“Imagine if every final judgment of a court in the United States could be undone simply by appealing to a more friendly court in a foreign nation. Thankfully, the legal order in the civilized world has evolved to prevent this kind of litigation adventurism,” writes Donald Kochan, professor of law and executive director of the Law and Economics Center at George Mason University. “First, once a matter is finally decided by one court, the matter is closed in that court and all others. Another court — even in a foreign jurisdiction — cannot “reopen” and give a second bite at the apple to the loser in the dispute. The loser can pursue appeals, but they cannot start over in a different trial court altogether, hoping for a better result.” https://lnkd.in/gH2StJVF
