AEHI Is the Only Publicly Traded Company Proposing a Free Market Advanced Nuclear Generating Company for US

BOISE, ID, Mar 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AEHI): The Idaho Energy
Complex, an advanced nuclear plant, is the only proposed pure nuclear
generating company in the US and possibly in the world that is investor
owned and publicly traded by AEHI. AEHI is the only public company to
have proposed any new nuclear power plants west of the Rockies. Most who
operate nuclear plants are regulated utilities unable to benefit from the
free market thus the significant profitably of these electricity
generators. So, when you purchase a US nuclear utility stock you are also
investing in coal, natural gas, hydro plants and other non-energy
ventures.

AEHI is working with the Mexican government to construct a proposed
advanced nuclear reactor for electricity and desalination of sea water
into potable water for the southwestern US. The company has an MOU for
land-water for an advanced nuclear reactor site plus joint venture on
solar at the Colorado Energy Park near Pueblo, CO. Also, the company is
in early discussions regarding supplying a reactor for electricity and to
remove oil from Tar Sands in Alberta, Canada. Another AEHI holding is
Energy Neutral which uses technology and renewables to virtually
eliminate energy bills for homes, businesses and farms, and is beginning
to do business in Arizona, Colorado and Idaho.

The company has arrangements in several Asian countries, including China
and Korea to obtain funding and strategic partners for its projects.
