LOWER POTTSGROVE PA – Former township Commissioner Thomas Troutman this week became one of the newest members of the Pennsylvania Energy Alliance, which promotes the use of nuclear energy as a clean, safe, reliable and affordable way to produce electricity.

Troutman’s membership was announced Tuesday (June 23, 2009) by the alliance via its account at Twitter, the popular online short-messaging service. Township Manager Rodney Hawthorne also joined the alliance earlier this year.

The alliance formed during January 2009 in response to 2008 polling done within the state to gauge residents’ feelings about nuclear energy generation. Not all who become members have their affiliation trumpeted on Twitter, but the group has done its best to promote its ties to individuals of significance in Pennsylvania business or politics.
