3 Top Energy Stocks to Buy Right Now

The energy industry has been a challenging sector for investors in recent years. Not only have oil prices been excruciatingly volatile, but the industry is also undergoing a structural shift away from fossil fuels and toward renewables. These issues have caused most energy stocks to underperform, which led many investors to avoid the sector entirely.

But while the energy industry certainly has its share of problems, it also has plenty of opportunities as it addresses its issues. Because of that, pockets of upside exist. Three of our energy-focused contributors' favorite investing ideas are pipeline giant Energy Transfer (NYSE: ET), wind turbine maker Vestas Wind Systems (OTC: VWDRY), and oil reservoir specialist Core Laboratories (NYSE: CLB).
