From https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/VICEX:US
USA Mutuals Vitium Global Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in equity securities of companies that derive a significant portion of their revenues from a group of vice industries that includes the alcoholic beverages, defense/aerospace, gaming and tobacco industries. The Fund will concentrate at least 25% of its net assets in this group of four vice industries.

Gas has half the CO2 emissions of coal

see too https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/natural-gas/natural-gas-and-the-environment.php
Natural gas is a relatively clean burning fossil fuel
Burning natural gas for energy results in fewer emissions of nearly all types of air pollutants and carbon dioxide (CO2) than burning coal or petroleum products to produce an equal amount of energy. About 117 pounds of carbon dioxide are produced per million British thermal units (MMBtu) equivalent of natural gas compared with more than 200 pounds of CO2 per MMBtu of coal and more than 160 pounds per MMBtu of distillate fuel oil. The clean burning properties of natural gas have contributed to increased natural gas use for electricity generation and as a transportation fuel for fleet vehicles in the United States.
Natural gas is mainly methane—a strong greenhouse gas
Some natural gas leaks into the atmosphere from oil and natural gas wells, storage tanks, pipelines, and processing plants. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that in 2017, methane emissions from natural gas and petroleum systems and from abandoned oil and natural gas wells were the source of about 32% of total U.S. methane emissions and about 4% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions1. The oil and natural gas industry takes steps to prevent natural gas leaks.
