OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Dec. 21, 2007 –Tortoise Capital Resources Corp. (NYSE: TTO) today announced it has withdrawn its registration statement for a public offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Aug. 14, 2007.

“Our portfolio is expected to provide shareholders with a growing distribution consistent with our initial objectives,” said Tortoise Capital Resources’ President Ed Russell. “Energy infrastructure sector fundamentals are strong and the portfolio of assets in the fund are generally performing as expected. However, current market conditions and the resulting impact on the stock price have hindered the company’s ability to move forward with a public offering at this time.”

Tortoise Capital Resources Corp. invests primarily in privately-held and micro-cap public companies operating in the midstream and downstream segments, and to a lesser extent the upstream segment of the U.S. energy infrastructure sector. Tortoise Capital Resources Corp. seeks to provide stockholders a high level of total return, with an emphasis on dividends and dividend growth.

Tortoise Capital Advisors, LLC is a pioneer in capital markets for master limited partnership (MLP) investment companies and a leader in closed-end funds and separately managed accounts focused on MLPs in the energy sector. As of Nov. 30, 2007, the adviser had approximately $2.9 billion of assets under management. For more information, visit our Web site at www.tortoiseadvisors.com.
