Energy Stocks

Energy consists of substances or elements that create power for everyday uses, such as oil, light, electricity, or wind. Not all energy is made the same, however. Energy from crude oil can emit harmful emissions, while electricity offers a much cleaner source of power. Tesla is leading the way in creating minimal amounts of emissions with its electric vehicles, while Exxon Mobil harnesses emissions-emitting oil to power internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.
