I think the problem is that this will likely lead to more driving instead of flying.

As someone who lives on an island, lol. But still a good point assuming a North American car centric viewpoint. I’ll be resorting to wind power, jetski, breath stroke, or airbus. Perhaps other options including rail ( yes we have it on Islands too ) may look competitive again.

They don’t have boats on your island? Sounds like a lack of conviction to me.

Kidding, of course.
