Considering the variable nature of oil and natural gas prices, there are short -term gyrations that will always be available in the energy sector. And then there are longer -term trends that can be seen as a head wind or opportunity.
I prefer to see the silver primer in the clean energy cloud with high efficient energy stocks. Totalenenergies(NYSE: TTE) And Enbridge(NYSE: ENB). That’s why you may want to buy them.
Competing with totalEnenerjies energy giants Exxonmobil– Knight– ShellAnd BP. They all have the same basic business model in the chain of energy value, which requires production (upstairs) transportation (middle flow) and chemicals and refining (down flow). This diversification helps to soften the peaks and valleys from variable energy prices.

The biggest point of differentiation between totalennerji and the closest peers is that the French energy giant makes a strong commitment to invest in electricity. Clean energy. Exxon and Chevron basically chose to adhere to their seeds. Shell and the BP both announced their plans to invest in clean energy, but since then, these plans have walked back. Totalenerji, if there is anything, has increased the investment rate. And in particular, when the shell and BP made the same announcements, they kept their dividends, maintaining clean energy.
This is still a relatively small part of Totalenerjies, in 2024, about 10% of the company’s business revenue from the business segments of the company. This is the only segment that has increased by 2023 and has increased from 2023 and emphasizes the diversification value offered by this enterprise.
However, this is not a short -term game. Totalenenergies looks at long -term changes in the industry and is now preparing for a significant more electric future. As an example, the US is expected to reach 32% from 32% to 32% of the latest energy usage in 2020. This is a major change and a change of the world. Add Totalenenergies’s supreme 6.3% dividend yield and I am a happy share. (US investors must pay French taxes for dividends, but some of this may claim that the tax period is coming.)
Totalenerjies allows me directly exposed to oil and natural gas. The Canadian middle flow giant Enbridge is more of a boring and consistent energy -dependent dividend. Supreme 6% or more dividend return is supported by the company’s portfolio of wage -generating energy infrastructure assets. The biggest contributions come from Enbridge’s oil and natural gas pipelines, which is perfect for me. These carbon fuels will be needed for decades.
However, Enbridge is increasingly investing in clean energy and regulated natural gas public services. These enterprises together represent about one quarter of their pre -interest earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and fire department. However, they move the company in the same direction as the world around the energy front.
However, the most remarkable thing here is that Enbridge is the consistent cash flow manufacturers of natural gas service and clean energy businesses. Regulation is the main support in the clean energy segment of long -term supply contracts in natural gas service operation. And so, Enbridge changes with the world and continues to focus on producing reliable cash flows.
I don’t really know which clean energy technology will be the big winner. I don’t know the time zone of the energy transition. So I chose to invest in two “old” Stalwarts, which provides me with generous dividers and prepared for a future that will contain cleaner energy today. In this way, I can collect the dividends while stopping the hard work of finding clean energy passage to Totalenenerjies and Enbridge.
