HOTPE states:
The TMT went through a 7 year permitting process, during which time everyone had an opportunity to make their concerns known.
Yes they did, however, several thousands (61,000 on last petition, as an example) feel they are, again, not being heard. Some have been fighting telescopes on Mauna Kea for decades, not just TMT for seven years.
Typical government shoving aside the people who dare to question them, for the "greater good". Unfortunately, as Richard Ha calls us, "the rubber slippa folk" have gained little to date, while the "chosen few" gained plenty.
At this point, it (TMT) is a done deal, road is open, let the chips fall where they may. Akua be with us all.
JMO.
