"Seems like the movement is growing, 13,000 signatures on a recent petition and Facebook blowing up with many against the 30 billion dollar telescope being built there."
30 billion dollar project? Please.
I understand the emotions some might have, but the bull**** is not coming from the TMT or science community. You've already seen some of the stuff that is made up. Gypsy69 brought in Lake Waiau which has nothing to do with the observatories, it's just a dishonest attempt to associate the low levels of water in the lake over the last few years. How could that have anything to do with the TMT? It's not here yet.
It's the same tactic used in the lawsuits. Lots of lies. For example, one of the lawsuits mentioned the extensive fencing at the summit. There is none. It was a lie.
And I won't mention her name, but something that I'm most furious about. One of the leaders of this protest used to work as a telescope operator at the summit. During that time she had no problem desecrating the summit by throwing her cigarette butts all over the summit area. Protectors of the summit? No, unless Poli‘ahu is addicted to nicotine and needs a drag on some butts.
