Norways largest bank just pulled its assets from the North Dakota pipeline

This is really good news!!! Thank you Norway!!!

11/18/2016 Greenpeace just released a press release revealing that DNB – the largest bank in Norway – just sold all of its assets in the Dakota Access pipeline.

“The news follows the delivery of 120,000 signatures from Greenpeace Norway and others to DNB urging the bank and other financial institutions to pull finances for the project,” the press release said.

DNB has also said recently that it is considering backing out of its loan to DAPL, which adds up to around 10% of its funding.

“It is great that DNB has sold its assets in the disputed pipeline, and it is a clear signal that it is important that people speak out when injustice is committed,” said Greenpeace Norway Sustainable Finance Campaigner Martin Norman. “We now expect DNB to also terminate its loans for the project immediately.”

1. So glad they did it. Hope more will follow.

2. Hate to be cynical, but the DAPL is 95% done, which makes this quite convenient.

Norwegians and Northern Europe have played their part in setting up the colonial foundations of global capitalism. They just don't want to appear to be The Bad Guys.

But they're culpable, oh yes.
