People chase yield, you know. It’s a kind of hope. A little bit of future income to offset the inevitable. The energy sector, bless its oily heart, still offers some. Not a guarantee, mind you. Nothing is. But Clearway Energy, Chevron, and Kinder Morgan… they’re kicking out cash. And that, in this broken-down world, is something.
Clearway: Betting on the Sun (and Wind)
Clearway Energy owns bits of the sun, the wind, and a few gas plants. They sell the electricity to folks who need it. Long-term contracts. Predictable income. It’s almost… comforting. They’re expecting their cash flow to grow at 7-8% a year until 2030. That’s what they say, anyway. They have a fancy relationship with a renewable energy developer. More projects coming. More cash, maybe. A 4.7% dividend yield. It’s not enough to retire on, but it’s a start. So it goes.
They also see growth in power demand. Data centers, mostly. All those servers humming, needing juice. It’s a strange thing, isn’t it? We build these digital worlds, powered by the real world. They’re aiming for 5-8% cash flow growth after 2030. Optimistic. But what isn’t these days?
Chevron: The Old Guard
Chevron digs up oil. And gas. They’re good at it. Been doing it a long time. They make money even when the price of oil dips. Scale, they call it. Low costs. It’s a simple equation, really. They can cover their expenses, their investments, and their 3.9% dividend even with oil under $50 a barrel. Currently, it’s over $70. A good time to be in the oil business, if you can stomach it.
They’re adding $12.5 billion to their free cash flow this year. A merger, expansion projects, cost-cutting. The usual. They expect 10% growth through 2030 at $70 oil. Ambitious. They’ve been raising their dividend for 39 years. That’s a streak. A long time to keep promises. They’re even dabbling in lower-carbon energy. Gas plants for data centers. Renewable fuels. Hydrogen. Lithium. Carbon capture. A little something for everyone. A way to hedge their bets. So it goes.
Kinder Morgan: The Pipelines
Kinder Morgan moves stuff. Gas, oil, carbon dioxide. They have the biggest pipeline network in the country. Stable cash flows. Long-term contracts. Government regulation. It’s not glamorous, but it’s reliable. A 3.6% dividend. Not enough to buy a yacht, but enough to keep the lights on. They have $10 billion in growth projects planned. More pipelines. More capacity. More gas. It’s what people want, apparently. They have another $10 billion in potential projects. A pipeline of pipelines. A comforting thought, in a way. So it goes.
They’ve raised their dividend for nine years straight. A solid record. They’re growing their cash flow. More dividends. More stability. A little island of predictability in a chaotic world.
A Few Drops in the Bucket
Clearway, Chevron, Kinder Morgan. They pay dividends. They might keep growing them. It’s not a cure for what ails us, but it’s something. A small return in a world that mostly takes. A little bit of income to offset the inevitable. Don’t expect miracles. Expect a slow, steady drip. And remember: everything dies. So it goes.
