EAGLE, ID--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 11, 2008 -- Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc. (Other OTC:AEHI.PK - News) announced its Board's decision to suspend the stock repurchase plan originally announced October 11, 2007. Due to increasing investor interest in alternate energy companies and the equity requirements of AEHI's large Idaho nuclear/bio-fuel complex, the company has elected to discontinue indefinitely the previously announced buyback plan. CEO Don Gillispie states, "While our shares are currently undervalued, we believe this suspension is in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. It allows for the allocation of resources that encourage maximum growth of our holdings."

The Idaho Energy Complex, a holding of AEHI, is a proposed $4.5 billion commercial nuclear power plant/bio-fuel generation facility to be constructed on a designated site near Grand View, Idaho. The electricity provided by the nuclear plant would be sufficient to power Idaho's growing needs and allow the elimination of fossil fuels for current power production. Additionally, excess heat from the nuclear reactor would be used to produce ethanol and methane from local crops and agricultural waste.
