Why are you so awesome? Also, can you follow and support TMT (Thirty Meter Telescope), we (Hawaii Big Island) could lose this incredible project in the very near future. [url]https://twitter.com/TMTHawaii[/url] In a nut shell, the opposition to this project has nothing to do with native rights or beliefs. The telescope became a spearhead for a political movement, the Hawaiian Sovereignty. The opponents gained momentum a few months back thanks to social media and Hollywood celebrities hopping on the hype and declaring "they" were the mountain.

After eight years of surveys, paperwork, studies, project is being stalled because one hearing was missed thanks to the inefficiency of the governing bodies involved. Many native Hawaiians have stated their support, and the religious beliefs the opponents hide behind are made up as they go.

At work right now, but PM if you want to know more, have a whole archive of what has been happening.
