AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE GAS STATION
If the state purchase of the parcel of land over Chip’s Hole cave does not work out, another solution to protect Wakulla Springs from contamination risk of a new mega gas station over the cave system may be to do what the Wawa chain of gas/convenience stores will try-out in Largo, a gas/convenience store without the gas pumps, focusing instead on selling food and drinks.
Since it is predicted that half of the new cars sold in 2030 will be electric, they could continue to sell “fuel” by providing electric vehicle charging stations.
