Potential restrictions to Mauna Kea access

[lo-ka-hi]

Tom, thank you for your explanations which helped me understand things a little better.

According to your assessment then there is no other suitable location for the TMT on the mountain, so either it will either be built at the proposed location or it won't be built at all on Mauna Kea.

I feel saddened about this whole affair. I can understand the desire for science as well as the desire for conservation of conservation land.
