TMT Work to Resume Says Ige!

[Guest]

O.K Ted, you just wrote about very important truths or facts about the situation that has been growing atop our sacred maunakea. Location, location, location, and our big island of Hawaii's people own it in the astronomy world(maunakea). Chile is getting like three of these TMT alike projects in the next decade, and those Chilean mountains will never look the same again. The soon to be replaced scientists or astronomer's atop the summit of maunakea do not care about or respect maunakea and its rich history with its native people, jmo. Our county and state cares to much about its surplus revenues or bottom dollar, and not enough about the people they are representing today or in the immediate future.


Just a few reacurring thoughts here. Maybe by halting this TMT project now and rebuilding the trusts, also by decommissioning most of the soon to be outdated telescopes at the top of maunakea would improve this escalating situation? In five or ten years wouldn't the best telescope location in the world still be the big islands mountain tops? Not long ago telescope projects were million dollar projects and promise, now they are billion dollar projects and promises, soon they could be Trillion dollar projects and realities. That are owned and operated by responsible business partners who understand and care about those who are sharing these incredible opportunities. Please stop stealing and selling our keiki of tomorrow short by allowing these few shinny pennies to replace our island people's aloha and love of life. Lots of Common sense, long range thinking, planning, and developing needs to be a few priorities moving forward,JMO.
