The 2 Safest Energy Dividends Right Now

The energy industry has been on a wild ride over the past several years. From the wild swings in oil and gas prices over the past decade to playing the "will they, won't they" game with extending renewable energy tax credits that have led to big swings in stock prices, investing in energy has been quite the manic affair.

This kind of volatility is off-putting for most investors, especially when looking for long-term investments. Fortunately, not all players in the energy space are investments that will make you nauseous watching their stock chart, and a few offer solid dividends to boot. Here's why investors looking for safer dividends in the energy sector should consider Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) and Valero Energy (NYSE: VLO)
