ANNAPOLIS, Md. - March 22, 2012 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB:CWET) (the "Company") announced today that the Company selected a site located in San Luis, Arizona, to pursue the construction of their innovative green renewable energy Downdraft Tower Facility. The Downdraft Tower has the capability of being operated with virtually no carbon footprint, fuel consumption, or residual waste. This technology will generate clean, cost effective and efficient electrical power without the damaging effects caused by using fossil or nuclear fuels, and other conventional power sources.

 

 The San Luis location incorporates plans for two (2) Downdraft Towers and a component parts Assembly Plant. As designed, the Company anticipates that each Downdraft Tower could generate enough electricity to power up to 1,600,000 homes using the guidelines set forth in the California Statewide Residential Appliance Saturation Study, 2004. As an independent power producer of clean renewable energy, the Company will not be selling power directly to consumers but rather to the grid.

 Ronald W. Pickett, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "San Luis is an ideal location for Clean Wind Energy to build our first alternative energy facility because this region of the southwest United States provides the proper weather profiles, proximity to the power grid, and other ingredients beneficial to the operation of a Downdraft Tower, and has been previously targeted as a prime region for alternative energy projects. I am enthusiastic about locating our Downdraft Tower in the United States because not only is this a breakthrough source of clean alternative energy, it will bring significant employment opportunities and economic stimulus to San Luis and a number of U.S. industries. We anticipate that during the Downdraft Tower's construction phase, 2,500 construction and transportation jobs and 1,000 manufacturing jobs will be created. Once placed in service, each Tower should generate 1,000 permanent jobs."

 In early February 2012, Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. applied to the United States Department of the Interior for permission to lease a parcel of property located in San Luis, Arizona, suitable for the development and construction of our first Downdraft Tower. The Company also applied to the Bureau of Reclamation for a temporary use permit to enable access to the site to evaluate a variety of issues including zoning, performing a preliminary geological survey and a general site evaluation along with other environmental assessments.

 

After notification by the Bureau of Reclamation that Clean Wind Energy Inc. could proceed with the local zoning process and site evaluations, the Company applied to the City of San Luis, Planning and Zoning Commission for entitlement to build two (2) Downdraft Towers and a component parts Assembly Plant.

 In furtherance of this process, a City of San Luis, Public Information Hearing has been scheduled for March 29th, 2012, and the City of San Luis, Planning and Zoning Commission has scheduled a hearing for April 10, 2012.
