There, Judge James Gion will preside over a jury trial in the case of Energy Transfer v. Greenpeace. Energy Transfer charges that Greenpeace effectively orchestrated and was a force driving the Standing Rock resistance.

Bo Jacobs<p>Most of this material is from attempts to “decontaminate" ships irradiated during the Operation Crossroads nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll in 1946. You may have seen images of the navy ships beneath the low hanging mushroom cloud. The US Navy towed many of these ships to the Bay Area and one by one tried to decontaminate them at Hunter's Point. They failed to decontaminate them, but succeeded in contaminating the shipyard. </p><p>They later sunk the irradiated ships at the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Farallon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Farallon</span></a> Islands off the coast of San Francisco, which is now the Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. </p><p>2/3</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/OperationCrossroads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OperationCrossroads</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/BikiniAtoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikiniAtoll</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/RMI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RMI</span></a></p><p> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nuclear</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ColdWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ColdWar</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HuntersPoint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HuntersPoint</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/SF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SF</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/NuclearTesting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearTesting</span></a></p>
