The arguments against the TMT that are being raised such as mercury poisoning, contamination of the aquifer, and desecration of sacred lands in no way allow for the TMT to be built should the sovereignty issue be resolved. They are in and of themselves against the TMT. They represent a scorched earth policy against the TMT and it really is insulting to the intelligence of any clear thinking individual to be asked to overlook that. That is over and above the fact that such arguments are empty to begin with.
