The Oklahoman reported last week about a movement out of Oklahoma City to get the United States Postal Service to switch from gasoline and diesel to natural-gas-powered vehicles. Natural gas is cheaper than either of those two fuels right now, which would be good for the USPS, but the real story here is in the power of demand. In this video, Fool.com contributor Aimee Duffy takes a look at what would happen if the Post Office pursued this idea.
The movement toward alternative energy is gaining momentum. One potential opportunity in this field is Clean Energy Fuels, which focuses its natural gas efforts primarily on trucking and fleets.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Louis Navellier]
Like the military-grade protective coverings it makes, nothing can scratch Zagg Inc. (NASDAQ:ZAGG). Of course, as Zagg is a household name in protecting our precious gadgets, its products are a hot commodity. Just like in the case with JAZZ, earlier this month some investors locked in gains on ZAGG’s tremendous run, causing the stock to dip. But, those investors are now kicking themselves for jumping the gun because since dropping on Aug. 8, ZAGG has surged 26%! With more than 5,000 designs available of its patented invisibleSHIELD alone, Zagg’s products are hot. Earlier this month, Zagg announced that its wireless device accessories will be distributed through U.S. Cellular locations, which is the sixth-largest wireless company in the U.S. The company also is on pace to post record full-year earnings this year.
