This is clearly a ethics violation. She’s investing in energy generation she has direct power to enrich herself. This should be a huge issue.

It is my understanding that this is not improper.

Congressmen are allowed to call hearings, interview company officials for otherwise private insider trading information, and then place stock and/or bond trades based on that information.

That all is something that isn't bandied about too much. Wonder why?

I think it is an ethics issue. It looks bad.

The fact that the investment is a small percentage of her assets is irrelevant.
