• Typical gov't official hubris

    US Secretary of Energy and her team embarked on a road trip to promote electric vehicles.

    The caravan of electric vehicles heading from Charlotte to Memphis over the course of four days hit a snag in Grovestown, Georgia. The group was planning a quick charge when they realized there wouldn't be enough electric vehicle chargers to go around
    since one was broken and the others were in use, NPR reported.

    So an employee from the Department of Energy tried to save one of the spots using a gas-powered car.

    It was a sweltering day and the move didn't go over well with a family that was also waiting for a charging spot. The situation escalated to the point that the family, driving with a baby in their car, called the police, who didn't have the authority to
    act because blocking an EV charging spot with a gas-power car isn't illegal in Georgia, NPR reported.

    So lets point out a couple of key points. The e-caravan had a gas vehicle escort. And when things went south....they decided they were too important to wait their turn like normal people.

    Typical dems. Wanna bet they flew back to DC?
