Would you buy shares in an energy company?

I have shares in an energy company. I also have shares in a renewable energy company.

LOL Lenny, I already have shares in mining and banking I have some money to invest for the kids and we're looking covering a few different areas - so we've got mining and banking, energy is definitely on the cards and then retail after that. Onyx, renewable energy is a good idea - I'll have to go and do a bit of research on that one.

I second that - energy is such a debatable topic at the moment and there is much talk on renewable energy. Something we widely use today might be gone in the future, or not a major source of energy, if someone comes up with a more environmentally friendly, affordable option.... so I wouldn't invest in energy, perhaps renewable though
