If you are looking for dividend stocks that can keep paying you well for decades, don't shy away from the energy sector. Yes, the world is shifting toward cleaner alternatives. But oil and natural gas are not expected to go away anytime soon.

That provides an inherent balance within the highly cyclical industry as downstream operations (refining) tend to benefit from the low oil prices that hurt the upstream (drilling) business. But there's more to the story here.
