Since you are investing for the long term and not day-trading on the volatility of the stock market, you should avoid investing in companies whose business is in fossil fuels. Over the next twenty years (and maybe sooner), these companies will perform very poorly. A number of coal mining companies are declaring bankruptcy right now as electricity generating plants switch to natural gas, which is cheaper and pollutes less. Every automobile manufacturing company is adding electric vehicles to their lineups in anticipation of national and state standards mandating cleaner vehicles. Finally, clean energy is becoming cheaper and competitive with fossil fuels. On top of this, the principal way to reduce greenhouse gasses is to eliminate fossil fuel burning.
