re: Just who/what lives on Mauna Kea and how/why?
Getting appropriate environmental approval for a major construction project is the LAW.
Yes, it is... and that is a good thing... and we do that....
However, I am NOT talking about that... I am talking about the fact that after that approval is recieved you still get slapped with lawsuits from these groups and the process is expensive and goes on for years...
Believe me, I am an environmentalist but these groups are not fighting important battles in this case... they are instead setting their sites on high profile but easy targets so they can get free press....
