FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA--(Marketwire - June 17, 2010) - Alternative Energy Partners, Inc. (OTCBB:AEGY) -

President Obama's call for federal legislators to act with him to quickly move the United States forward into an era of clean energy is being lauded by Alternative Energy Partners. Mr. Obama made the appeal during his June 15 speech from the Oval Office addressing the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Mr. Gary Reed, CEO of Alternative Energy Partners, issued this statement:

"President Obama is completely correct to stand up to the oil companies and urge our federal lawmakers to move aggressively on clean energy. The tragedy of the Gulf oil spill proves yet again that our nation's addiction to fossil fuels must end.

We join the President in calling for legislation that will lead to increased investment in clean energy solutions and the companies behind them. Millions of Americans could be put to work in clean energy sectors such as solar thermal, which employs proven technology and uses renewable energy from the sun to power a building's heating and cooling.

Our elected members in Washington have to act now. Every day, we are losing more jobs to countries outside of the U.S. and our energy future is becoming less secure. Through their support for clean energy, lawmakers will spur American innovation, create jobs, give critical confidence to investors and help create a better future for our children and grandchildren."

American Energy Partners, through its wholly owned subsidiary Sunarias, is a leading provider of on-site utilities that generate clean solar thermal energy. On June 15, Sunarias announced plans to implement a pilot solar thermal energy system at Promise Hospital of East Los Angeles. ([ Link to news release ]) This pilot is the first installation under the Sunarias Healthcare Alternative Energy Program, a comprehensive new sales and marketing program targeting the healthcare sector.
