How many of those PEOPLE you know working at the observatories are HAWAIIAN?
How many of the people you know working at the worlds astronomy capitol are born and raised on the Big Island?
With equal opportunity and education provided, I believe Several hundred Hawaiians would be capable of doing the jobs at the observatories. This TMT project may provide Thousands of good paying jobs for Canadians, Asians and Europeans while only providing Construction and other labor jobs for those mainly from Oahu. jmo
A few concerns I have regarding the TMT project are:
The land lease on the summit of Mauna Kea is set to expire in the year 2033. If the TMT is built it should also be decommissioned with the other dozen or more telescopes by 2033. The TMT project and their many lawyers are making the 8 criteria currently put in place to help protect Mauna Kea a joke. The TMT project may bring millions more people to our sacred and environmentally sensitive summit of Mauna Kea. The TMT project may cause or force our Island residents to have to pay more for limited resources like Water, housing and electricity.
A few questions i have regarding the TMT project are:
If the TMT was built on Mauna Kea who really stands to benefit? Island Keiki, Helco, or the islands many resorts?
If the TMT was built on Mauna Kea would Pele's gifts to the Hawaiian people be used to provide the TMT electricity?
How would the China or India Government's or military's plan to use their TMT investment and allotted time?
