No, it is not confirmed. Nor is it in any way true.
Hawaii was ground zero in what became a raging pattern of corporate imperialism. I stand with Hawaiians and all Americans ready to interrupt the pattern and forge a new path. No on Mauna Kea telescope.https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-hawaii-manua-kea-telescope-protests-20190714-story.html …

Confirmed: Williamson doesn't want native Hawaiians rights/wishes to be ignored and steamrolled over and thinks the telescope should be built but somewhere else with proper local consultation and environmental protections. If that came as a shock, then yikes.

Disagree with you on this one. Astronomy is too important given SETI.

Of course it’s important! But the telescope can be put on another site

Exact same concept as Standing Rock! What’s more important: rights of indigenous peoples or what some would dubiously refer to as “progress?” I hope anyone would say “the rights of the people!”

“If we keep on encountering obstacles to placing it [TMT] on Hawaii we would be very happy to build it in the Canaries. With the TMT on La Palma we could do marvelous astronomy.” - Gary Sanders, TMT project manager, 2017

Agreed! Indigenous people’s rights should be protected. No Mauna Kea telescope!

There’s more than one mountain
to place a telescope. Yes science is important, interesting that our current establishment is anti-science. People are important. They were there first.
