Hawaiians, Shorelines & “Mother Ocean’s” Revenge

[TomK]

Let me just add to the "lies about the TMT" list HOTPE provided:

"* The TMT has lasers that will destroy small cities
* The TMT has military applications
* Telescopes on Mauna Kea make profits amounting to millions of dollars per year
* TMT approval was "rubber stamped." (Over a period of 7 years?)
* TMT is building on a burial site"

* The TMT will be obsolete by the time it's built;
* The TMT threatens the aquifer;
* Lake Waiau will be used as a source of water for the TMT;
* The TMT threatens the wekiu bug;
* TMT proponents are being paid by the TMT;
* The TMT will bring more than one million tourists per year to the summit;
* PGV will need to expand to provide power for the TMT;
* The TMT will spill mercury into the environment;
* The TMT will only provide high-paying jobs to mainlanders;
* The Saddle and summit access roads will have to be widened.

I'm sure there are plenty of others, but other than those HOTPE mentioned, these are the first that come to mind.
