We already have the shacks and dirt roads?

The hyperbole of that original statement is amusing. If you look at Mauna Kea on Google Earth, the observatories can't even be seen until you zoom in on the summit. They cover a very small percent of the mountain and overall have an incredibly small impact. There aren't a lot of really good jobs on the Island that aren't government. I hope that TMT is built as it is a positive step for mankind with very minimal impact on the environment.
