BOISE, Idaho, July 22, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:AEHI) today announced the launch of www.GreenWorld-H2O.com . The site will be used to promote and sell commercial Green World Water™ nuclear desalination systems, some of which are poised to sell before the end of the year.
"We already had visitors to the site before its official launch, which is gratifying because we have a large number of countries that have expressed interest in our product and this site is now offering the additional information they need to make an informed decision," said Don Gillispie, AEHI CEO.
The site will be used to further explain the Green World Water product, but it also demonstrates exactly how a nuclear desalination system differs from any other, mainly coal, natural gas and wind. In every category nuclear has clear advantages in price, volume of clean water produced, cost to process water from the ocean and co-generation of electricity.
"It is exciting for us and to our potential clients that we can produce clean water from the ocean for as low as 35 cents per cubic meter. Other systems are doing the same thing, but with a cost between $2 and $12 per cubic meter. The great thing about nuclear desalination is that the sale of electricity from the same plant will actually pay for the cost of the water production," said Gillispie.
Green World Water desalination systems can process up to 400,000 cubic meters of clean water every day and use power generation to pump the water hundreds of miles inland, which will reduce, if not eliminate the problems of drought and dirty water in many parts of the world. That is enough water to fill a reservoir more than a mile wide, by 10 meters deep every month with clean water.
Green World Water will use 650 MWe or 1100 MWe reactors and through a partnership with Hyperion Power Generation, the company may soon add Hyperion's refrigerator-sized 25 MWe reactor to the list as well.
International drought conditions are creating havoc in many countries and according to the United Nations, it won't be long before one-third of the world's population will have little to no access to clean water. It is estimated that the problem will increase by 40 percent in the next 15 years.
