BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 15, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc.is a company we have followed very closely over the past two years with great intrigue as the concept behind it could prove revolutionary in the energy business."

In an article entitled "AEHI Under Attack By Some Interesting Characters" published Thursday, Pinnacle Digest (www.pinnacledigest.com) takes a very strong and positive position on the future of Alternate Energy Holdings (OTCQB:AEHI) (www.aehipower.com). The article points out Pinnacle Digest writers thoroughly vetted AEHI as an investment opportunity for their readers more than two years ago. The site also describes recent attacks on AEHI stock as being performed by anti-nuclear activists in conjunction with known penny stock felons who are apparently short-selling the stock.  (http://www.pinnacledigest.com/articles/aehi-under-attack-some-interesting-characters).

Here are some highlights from the article:

• "We've been following AEHI for roughly 2 years and researched it for over 6 months without ever buying a single share."
• "Our crew thoroughly investigated AEHI and every person on AEHI's Board of Directors -- and by the way, so has the U.S. Government (as all of these people work prominently in the nuclear industry) and many international governments; many that have an interest in the work AEHI is accomplishing with renewable energy, nuclear power, mini reactors and nuclear desalination." 
• "With over 45 years of experience in construction, operations and maintenance of nuclear power plants, AEHI's CEO, Don Gillispie is someone we were willing to bet on when we invested in this company."
• "Gillispie helped found a cornerstone program for the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO), which is the safety watchdog to all U.S. nuclear utilities."
• "Gillispie consulted with some of the largest nuclear utilities in the United States, advising senior executives on commercial nuclear power operations."
• "To be frank, we've never come across a public company of its kind… Because of its independence, AEHI has the potential to raise the money to build plants; they don't have to rely on rate payers, which only increase the cost of power. It's an investment opportunity we wanted to be involved with upon completing our due diligence."
