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 Sam Collins]
Semiconductor maker Skyworks Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS) is an innovator of high reliability analog and mixed signal semiconductors for dual- and triple-mode smartphones, tablets and data cards.
Although its P/E ratio appears high at over 39 times 2011 earnings, its five-year earnings growth of over 35% appears to justify it. Analysts at Stifel Nicolaus recently raised SWKS from a “hold” to a “buy.”?
Technically, SWKS is in a powerful uptrend and recently flashed a new buy signal from the slow stochastic. This is a speculative stock and buyers should place a 10% trailing stop loss in order to protect against a reversal. But if the trend continues, a target of $45 in one month is possible.
