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.

In this video, Fool.com contributor Aimee Duffy takes a look at what would happen if the Post Office pursued this idea.
