So if the gas stations go away, why wouldn't they be replaced by convenience stores/rest stops? Like how does "we're getting rid of the gas pumps" ONLY translate to "we're getting rid of all the other revenue generating facility that accompanies that gas pump"?
I could MAYBE understand the argument that the pumps help subsidize the cost of the convenience store and you'd see X% of locations close with no replacement taking over the location, but the whole point is that we have to make a choice between jobs + status quo or change + less climate impact.
TL;dr- I'm pretty sure we have enough gas stations at this point to meet demand.
