Just last week, one of those bulls, LouPerna, succinctly summed up the Clean Energy bull case for our community:
With [natural gas] prices low and with major portions of the Natural Gas Hwy complete, industry has a compelling reason to switch to natural gas. This should lead to major revenue and profit increases over the next few years. The wide moat should discourage competition
Of course, that short pitch doesn't even come close to telling the entire story for Clean Energy. You're in luck, though.
