OnoOno,
Not all progress should get a greenlight without question, however this group of protesters has chosen a highly inappropriate cause, given the last king of Hawaii felt strongly about furthering astronomy here. It's a little disconcerting just how ignorant these people are. Why don't they all move to Niihau? Or stop with the out of control racism, entitlement prejudices and wasting time of the productive members of society.
It is interesting to note that you have correctly observed that "protesters" have chosen an inappropriate "cause". It expresses correctly the fact that there are always people looking to throw wrenches in the working of progress, and adopt "causes" or "issues" as mere pretense to engage in that activity. Their true "cause" is the opposition of progress (I refer to them as "Luddites" knowing that term isn't completely appropriate).

Their true cause is money; nothing more, nothing less. In one of the you tube videos, the gentleman in the suit can be heard saying, "One trillion dollars in damage. You owe us money." The amount has gone up substantially since the groundbreaking when it was only 30 million they wanted.
