TMT construction begins Monday 15 July

A FB & Instagram post protesting TMT reads as follows;

"(know the truth, so you can understand the fight)

Does anyone know why or what the real issues are that the Hawaiians have with the construction on Mauna Kea? Well what if you knew that the reason why they want to build the telescope there is because under that mountain there is the hugest water duct on the island, it is so huge it could provide fresh water to the whole island for hundreds of years, well in order to run those telescopes they need to be cooled because of the nuclear power it runs on so they're going to drill down to the water and send down the nuclear waste into the water to cool it off then send it back upo to the telescope to keep it running. Now imaging all that fresh ice cold water that we have just sitting there for us and instead of allowing us access to free freshwater for life they want to pump nuclear waste into just so they can look into a machine that can see across the universe! And polluting our islands lands and water. So just because you and I aren't up there in that mountain protesting with our families it doesn't mean you shouldn't know the truth about why their fighting...
