FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA--(Marketwire - June 24, 2010) - Alternative Energy Partners, Inc. (OTCBB:AEGY) -

Tens of thousands more gallons of oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico yesterday after the containment cap failed, forcing BP to remove it. At the same time, Senate Democrats stalled in their efforts to advance the climate change bill to the Senate floor.

In response to these developments, Gary Reed, CEO of Alternative Energy Partners (OTCBB:AEGY), today released the following statement:

"We need to hold British Petroleum responsible for its reckless actions in the Gulf. But to truly solve the problems caused by our dependence on fossil fuels, we must as a nation transition to clean, renewable energy sources. There are so many practical and affordable options; we need strength in leadership to guide the market.

"Yesterday, leading Democratic Senators asked President Obama to take charge of the climate control bill to ensure it passes with strong clean energy provisions. We join the Senators in urging the President to use his influence to advance the legislation quickly and to get the job done.

"Through a focus on the clean energy industry, thousands of jobs can be created across all fields of labor, having an immediate and exponential effect on the U.S. economy. All guideline legislation should have the net effect of creating jobs, period.

We believe successful energy reform calls for the inclusion of the following measures in the bill:

• Predictable federal incentives and tax rebates for both the public and private sectors to remove the uncertainty surrounding project financing.

• Strategically placed renewable energy generation centers supported by feed-in tariffs to serve communities that are net importers of power and reduce the need for grid upgrades.

• Robust Renewable Energy Standards (RES) that will have the effect of increasing investment in renewable power generation.

• Federal guidelines to standardize energy efficiency measures and deadlines that will promote innovation and commitment.

"These provisions will create jobs, boost the economy and protect the environment from further damage related to the use of dirty fuels like oil and coal. They will also help reduce our dangerous dependency on foreign oil, which is jeopardizing our economic recovery and undermining our homeland security.

"There is no question anymore that alternative energy is the future, the question is whether the United States will take a leadership position in this technology."
