Q: The valuations on companies with a favourable ESG component are lofty at best. Do you see any in this sector that are still reasonably priced? A dividend would be preferable.
Thanks for your consideration.

Q: Peter & Co.,
I am reviewing Vermilion’s operation, financials and dividend in light of the Coronavirus. The virus is still largely an unknown factor in world health and economics. However, the impact on travel and commerce is certainly being felt. Among my concerns is the short/long term impact on energy consumption. Vermilion has 60% of its production in North America and 35% in Europe. Is there any way to evaluate what impact we can might expect on VET over the longer term?
With appreciation, Ed

Q: What do you think about Jim Cramer's comments that fossil fuels are dead? With all the pipeline protests and endowment funds divesting of fossil fuel investments, it seems there is limited long term growth for these companies. Should one divest of pipeline and fossil fuel stocks and instead go towards renewables? Considering that millennials will be the next big wave of investors, and they tend to be anti fossil fuels. Could you provide some ETFs that are focused on renewables?

Q: Utilities seem to go parabolic since December 2018 with no sign of slowing down. Since interest rates seem to remain low for a foreseeable future, is this a new secular trend emerging from improved interest in green energy. ZUT in particular includes many renewable power generator companies. So I basically have 2 questions: If this is a new secular trend should one increase their utility allocation ? 2: Is there still life for oil and gas companies ?
