True that it must be relatively close. It's about a 150 mile downstream impact. They also use fossil fuels in the extraction and processing, so it would still impact those islands anyways. It's still a step in the right direction but I can't wait to see economical super capacitors or alternative batteries (love those kinetic/gravity ones for grid storage).
