JMO here. This TMT project really should not be happening on our island at all, or in this state period. This is the aloha state of Hawaii, we have tourists by the millions who spend millions to walk on our prestigious beaches and breath our fresh warm tropical air. Our wonderful people of this aina work very hard catering to this tourism industry. They sacrifice much of everything that is important to them to share this beautiful place with these visitors. Why should this thirty meter telescope be built near the summit of maunakea? How does this help tourism, or our keiki of tomorrow? Why do the Canadians, japanese, and many of the worlds others want to build this godzilla here? This would and could alter or change much of maunakea protectors past, present, and future.
Nature, Culture, and our islands aloha spirit VS big business, space, war, money, and D.C.

Location, location, location. You know, or should know, the rest. BTW, it is the same reason the other telescopes are there. Hawaii is part of the USA and has adopted, voluntarily, our culture. Part of that culture is pushing the human experience forward in all areas, including research. Some people, however, are against progress, and will throw any excuse the can find into play to try and stop or slow progress.
