Is holding energy ETFs or individual stocks worth it?

Basically the title. If you’re looking to purchase and hold assets over 30 years, and logic pretty much dictates that a commodity like oil or gasoline is going to be integral to society for the next 30 years AND it is a limited quantity, to me, it seems like a good sector tilt.

I currently have like 5% of my portfolio in VDE which has had consistent good returns over the 1/3/5/10 year range, handily beating VTI, but the price fluctuates every time the president makes a tweet or or a middle eastern OPEC country farts funny.

Take today for example, very bullish for the market, but VDE is down 4%. Curious what you guys think over the long term.
