Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. Transitions from a Research and Development Stage Company

ANNAPOLIS, Md., Sept. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB: CWET, the "Company"), announced today that the Company is closing their internally staffed engineering office in Warrenton, Virginia and transitioning to a Development Team that will oversee and coordinate the efforts of industry consultants and advisors to develop and construct their first Dual Renewable Energy Tower.

Ron Pickett, President & CEO stated: "In recent months the Company has needed to seek numerous consultants with outside expertise beyond the disciplines of our in-house engineering staff. Management believes that as the Company commences the transition from a "Research and Development Stage" company to the actual development of our first project, the best course of action is to seek the advice of well recognized world class industry participants to work with our Company to bring our Dual Renewable Energy Tower to market. For example, during the past year we have been working very closely with Kroll Cranes, a subsidiary of Muhibbah Engineering, in our planning and research phase as well as consulting with professors from several well recognized universities."

Management has accepted the resignations, effective September 20, 2011, from John Hanback, Chief Technology Officer, Itzhak Tepper, P.E. Chief Structural Engineer and Christopher Johnson, Program Manager, Research Engineer. Management anticipates that there may be disputes from former employees; however the CWET Board of Directors has concluded that it is in the mutual best interest of the shareholders and the Company to move forward in this new direction.
