   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.    
   (end snip)   
      
   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?
