Better Buy: Kinder Morgan vs. Clearway Energy

The energy sector has a spotty track record when it comes to dividends. While many companies in the industry pay above-average yields, they aren't always sustainable. That has been the case with both Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI) and Clearway Energy (NYSE: CWEN)(NYSE: CWEN.A) as they each significantly reduced their payouts at one point in the past because of some financial issues.

However, both companies have since started increasing their dividends in recent years, making them more attractive options for dividend seekers. Here's a look at which of these two stand out as the better buy these days.
