Just last month, one of those Fools, balcobulls, touched on the tailwinds working in Clean Energy's favor:
Once again, the Government will be involved for this energy stock to boom. If incentives are given to build vehicles that run on NAT Gas, [Clean Energy] will be in perfect position to take full profits. Anyone who is long [Clean Energy], watch [the United States Postal Service] and hope they keep close to full strength. The entire USPS fleet is talking to [Westport Innovations] to build their engines. [Clean Energy Fuels] will bring you Silver while [Westport] will bring the Gold!
