AEHI CEO Cites United Nations Data on Global Water Crisis and Urges Wider Use of Nuclear Desalination Reactors
BOISE, IDAHO - August 23, 2010 - Don Gillispie, CEO of Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:AEHI); www.aehipower.com), an Eagle-Idaho based developer of large-scale nuclear and green energy projects including nuclear power plants and nuclear desalination reactors, today stated, "United Nations (http://www.un.org/waterforlifedecade/) data now confirms that the world is in the midst of a water crisis with one in six people worldwide without sufficient amounts of fresh water. In my opinion, one solution to this problem should be nuclear desalination reactors that can produce large amounts of fresh clean water."
According to Gillispie, "The worldwide fresh water crisis, which is expected to outstrip supply by 2025 per the UN, could be helped significantly by using desalination systems powered by commercial nuclear reactors. Seawater desalination as an alternate source of fresh water has been used primarily with fossil plants around the world, but until now there hasn't been a pairing of large commercial nuclear reactors with desalination systems. Nuclear powered desalination not only provides more affordable fresh clean water, but also excess electricity and carbon credits."

World Water Crisis
Why water could soon become a tradable commodity
• The problem of clean water is growing
• Less than 1% of world's water supply is fresh
• More than 1/3 of the population has no fresh water
• Threats of international drought are multiplying
• By 2025 water will be more valuable than oil
• Water demand to increase 40% in next 15 years
• Hostile conflicts over water are increasing
• Polluted water causes death and disease worldwide
