Kayne's Baker: Energy industry is well set up for the next five years

Jim Baker, managing partner and co-head of energy infrastructure at Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, says that the energy transition -- the push away from traditional fossil fuels towards renewable sources -- will take decades, creating a long-term megatrend in the energy business. With the last few years of global turmoil highlighting the critical nature of energy and the importance of keeping supply levels appropriate, energy infrastructure companies are wide-moat businesses that should ride out any economic downturn comparatively smoothly while generating consistent income for investors.
