Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. (OTC Markets: CCTC) ("CCTI," "the Company"), an emerging cleaner-energy company utilizing patented technology (Pristine(TM)) to convert raw coal into a cleaner burning and more efficient fuel, announces an update on recent developments in the coal industry as it finalizes orders for the components needed to begin construction for the commissioning of pilot plant in Oklahoma. 

Oklahoma Pilot Plant Update:
Management is acutely aware of the interest from shareholders for regular updates on the progress of the pilot plant, however the company is also cautious not to create unreasonable expectations, and therefore has chosen to update only when critical milestones have been reached. Currently all plant components are on order and deliveries are beginning to ship.  The company is dependent upon the workflow schedules from vendors/manufacturers, and providing they continue to perform and deliver, as they have to date, CCTI will meet or be slightly ahead of schedule.  The company is projecting the start of the construction in July and delivery of the pilot plant to the coal fired utility in mid August with commissioning to take place in September.  Shareholders can expect to be informed when all component parts have been delivered and construction has commenced. After this, Management will inform the shareholders when the plant has been constructed and is mechanically performing perfectly.

Red Tape, Litigation Blocking Energy Exports and U.S. Job Creation

The Subcommittee on Energy and Power, chaired by Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-KY), today continued its look into opportunities to expand U.S. energy exports with a hearing focused on regulatory, market, and legal barriers to the export of American coal and natural gas. America is entering a new age of energy abundance thanks to technological innovations and is now poised to become a leading global energy supplier. However, regulatory hurdles, outdated policies, and litigious environmental activists are preventing important energy export opportunities that could help create jobs, strengthen the economy, and improve America's trade balance.

The Government's reform of the energy market is ``potentially dangerous'', Labour has warned.

Shadow energy minister Baroness Worthington accused the Government of trying to ``renationalise energy policy'' and said the Energy Bill had achieved the opposite of what it was meant to do and exacerbated an ``investment hiatus''.

The legislation will reform the electricity market in an attempt to encourage low carbon energy generation and keep the country's lights on.

It will provide price certainty to give investors stability and set up a new nuclear power regulator.

 One year afterSan Diego Gas & Electric(SDG&E) energized and put into service the 117-mile Sunrise Powerlink transmission line linking San Diego to the renewable-rich Imperial Valley, the positive impact of this infrastructure project is enormous not only to the San Diego region, but also to the state of California.

When theSunrise Powerlink was energizedJune 17, 2012, it instantaneously brought additional imported power into the San Diego region.  The transmission line played a pivotal reliability role last summer without the 2,200 megawatts (MW) of generation that the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) provides to the region, and will again be one of the most important mitigation measures helping to maintain electric reliability without SONGS during high customer demand this summer.

Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the process which the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission uses to review applications for facilities for the export of LNG.

It can be difficult in today's economy for businesses to know where to save money, but business electricity is the perfect place to start. According to FirstEnergy Solutions (FES), a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp., the energy market is extremely low right now, making this the ideal time to take advantage of huge potential savings by requesting a quote.

The process of saving on business electricity prices doesn't have to be extensive and long-winded. In fact, FirstEnergy Solutions has intentionally crafted a simple process to help you start saving quickly:

Ontario could play host to three separate nuclear waste disposal sites, according to information filed at recent hearings.

Two of the proposed sites have already been publicly discussed, although the simultaneous search is causing confusion in the area near the Bruce nuclear station on Lake Huron. One is to store high-level waste - spent nuclear fuel. A second would hold low- and intermediate-level waste from operating nuclear reactors.

But now it seems a third site is possible - one to store waste from reactors that have been taken out of service and dismantled. That waste is called "decommissioning waste."
