Charlie Dent

WASHINGTON DC – Rep. Charlie Dent, the Lehigh Valley Republican who represents Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township as part of Pennsylvania’s 15th Congressional District, last week (Feb. 16, 2011) was named the recipient of the 2011 Pathfinder Award presented by the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA).

The Pathfinder Award recognizes individuals outside the energy industry who help advance fuel cell and hydrogen technology. Dent helped to found the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Caucus in Congress, and has been an advocate of programs for its development and deployment. He also promoted tax credits for hydrogen fueling stations and fuel cells.

In previous years, the Pathfinder Award has honored researchers, planners, political leaders, employees of federal and state governments, and fuel cell users and buyers. The symbol of the Pathfinder Award is the compass.

    Hmmm, big surprise that the Hack Dent would get this award. His top campaign contributor was PPL in Allentown. Always follow the money.
