Astronomy in Hawaii under threat?

[MyManao]

I'm told there "used to be" a stone fruit farm at an appropriate altitude ... until the asian fruit fly arrived.

Gee, I always thought it was the Mediterranean.. frickin' flies, eh?

But no matter.. now that ground based astronomy is about to become passé I suspect the TMT guys will be reassessing their options. I would. I mean, what's all that money stuck to the top of a mountain really worth when compared to the likes of the James Webb? Nah, my bet is on the TMT guys realizing they could get a whole lot more bang for their buck and realigning their priorities.. and thanking the Hawaiians for helping them see the error of their ways..
