Boy think of all the excavators and bulldozers that company can buy with all that money.

Loosely translated to, "we won't be able to fund domestic terrorists and their ability to destroy someone else's property"

I have a confession. In my youth, I was a member of Greenpeace. Ironically, peeking behind the curtain there was one of my stepping stones toward sanity(conservatism).
They are nothing more than an organization of grifters, prosperity gospel for worshippers of Gaia. I hope they drown in their fantastic rising oceans.

Green peace will never pay a cent. They are a bunch of wacko criminals. The judgment could have been for all the tea in China.

Greenpeace has done some good, such as exposing unlicensed Taiwanese fishing vessels raping the southern ocean. They have legally fought against other nation's fishing vessels, who have used illegal drift nets, etc.

Yup, me too. When I was around 17 or 18, I supported their fight to Save The Whales. Then, when the whales were saved through an international agreement, Greenpeace pivoted to baby harp seals. I knew then they weren't happy with what they had accomplished. I never supported them again.

It sounds like our eyes were opened about the same time.

It's about time eco-terrorists were made to pay for their activities. They've acted with impunity for far too long.

That's a big check. And no NAID to clean up the mess.

I got to dive the wreck years ago. A nice artificial reef is the only real contribution Greenpeace ever really made.

The judgment can be appealed… Can’t it? This may be years more in process.

Absolutely. The most famous is the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill. It spent 16 years in the courts and many of the years were over punitive damages appeals. Punitive damages were originally $5.0B which Exxon appealed. 9th circus sent back down to US district court 3x, and each time district court would slightly lower punitive damages. Finally 9th circus agreed on $2.5B, Exxon appealed to SCOTUS, and SCOTUS said $0.5B.
