Original Comment I called Vanguard today to ask if you had any energy funds which did NOT have fossil fuels as part of the package, and was told &quot;No&quot;. Considering all the issues with global warming, oil polluting our oceans, and pipeline and train disasters, fracking poisoning ground water, and coal's extreme CO2 pollution, I wonder why Vanguard continues to rely on fossil fuels which are also not socially responsible since their use is dirtying our home - the earth.<br /> <br /> In reading about the explosion of clean energy use in Europe, while the US lags far behind, it would seem that now is the time for Vanguard to come up with a product or products that would capitalize on the coming rush to catch up. There are many companies, here and abroad, which make equipment, install systems, sell clean energy, or storage products, and one would think that a mutual fund made up of those companies would be worth beginning. While such a fund would probably not be as profitable as those you now offer. One could safely invest in a clean energy fund without feeling like one is selling one's soul.<br /> <br /> And then there is the issue of Vanguard liking to think of your contribution to society. Web pages touting green buildings, giving back et al. Wouldn't a green fund add to that image?<br /> <br /> Otherwise, my wife and I thank you for your good work. R-
