SRE is one of the best growth names in this space with two strong utilities in California, one in Texas, plus more in Mexico. Operations include alternative energy and natural gas. tis 3.2% dividend isn't enough compared to treasuries. But the CEO is terrific and they keep putting up strong numbers. He's been watching this closely and will buy once he frees up space in his portfolio.

A growth utility with a natural gas kicker, including pipelines and a LNG terminal in Louisiana. Has been putting up great numbers, but shares are -5% YTD because of weak nat gas prices. They have best-in-class assets and serve big markets of California and Texas. You're paid a 3.2% yield to wait till shares move higher.
