Executives from an independent nuclear power plant developer visited Colorado last week to meet with a number of key county and state leaders to determine support for a combination nuclear and solar power plant in Pueblo County. Officals from Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc.  believe the state is a prime candidate for nuclear to replace aging coal plants because it has a strong commitment to clean energy sources.

The trip also included a review of the property by a nuclear site expert to determine suitability.

AEHI CEO, Don Gillispie, said, ” We were very encourage by the supportive remarks from businessmen, labor leaders, politicians and members of the state’s administration. They clearly understand that nuclear plants not only create clean power necessary to help with environmental challenges, but low cost, reliable energy to stabilize the electric grid while creating thousands of high paying jobs.”
 
Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc.  is the nation’s only independent nuclear power plant developer willing to build power plants in non-nuclear states. Other projects include, Energy Neutral which removes energy demands from homes and businesses (www.energyneutralinc.com), Idaho Energy Complex (nuclear and biofuels generation) and International Reactors, which assists developing countries with nuclear reactors for power generation, production of potable water and other suitable applications. Also, AEHI China develops joint ventures to produce nuclear plant components among other things for export.
