If you've been honest with yourself and truly have conflicting feelings about the issue, go ahead and do the work. If you felt strongly one way or the other I think it would be a different story.
I do things for the petroleum industry's trade association, which advocates for the Keystone Pipeline, oil sands extraction and other issues that I don't agree with. The industry's "science" on global warming is hilarious, even to an uninformed semi-literate like me. But the way I look at it, I use petroleum products like everyone else and not every aspect of what they do is problematic for me. So I do the work.
I also do work for the ethanol industry, which may or may not be "greener" than oil, depending on who you believe. I think the bottom line is that most issues are complex, with legitimately different points of view, and unless you know there's some evil being done (hello Big Tobacco) you shouldn't sweat it too much.
