In this video, Motley Fool energy analyst Taylor Muckerman tells us how, after yesterday's big day in natural gas, today was relatively quiet. He discusses how natural gas prices have retreated slightly to $3.88 per mcf, but how there are a lot of bulls in the sector who are hoping for a winter that comes early and gets cold fast. Several companies that have been major movers as of late in this sector are also hoping for exactly the same thing. Taylor tells us about a few of those companies, takes stock of some of the losses they've experienced recently as supply has exceeded demand, and highlights the collective optimism, as all eyes are on natural gas prices and the coming winter.

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. It's poised to make a big impact on an essential industry. Read all about Clean Energy Fuels in our brand-new report. Just click here to get started.
