Ed's Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List 01.25.26
2026, #3
Hi there! Welcome to Ed’s Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List, where we know climate change is caused by burning fossil fuels such as gasoline, coal, oil, and fossil gas (“natural” gas), and that burning fossil gas in our homes makes us sick.
There are 68 jobs and internships in the full version of the newsletter this week.
Access to jobs that require less than five years experience or that are located outside of the U.S. are and will remain free. There are individual subscriptions ($7/month or $70/year) available as well as career center subscriptions ($300/year). College student? Please ask your career center to sign up for a paid subscription, especially if they pointed you here. Odds are they have not subscribed.
Want to support the jobs list, but can’t swing a subscription? I started an affiliate bookshop on Bookshop.org that will send me a small affiliate bonus if you purchase books using this link (https://bookshop.org/shop/EdsCleanJobs). I also included a selection of books that I’ve enjoyed that address climate change and climate solutions. You can also send me a one-time payment/tip using this link.
What I'm reading this week:
After Helene, rural North Carolina turns to solar and battery hubs (Elizabeth Ouzts, Canary Media). Western North Carolina has a special place in my heart, so I was horrified at the destruction of Hurricane Helene. I’m really excited to see the Footprint Project take the benefits of clean energy to this gorgeous part of the country and make a real, positive impact on people’s lives.
Wind and solar overtook fossil fuels for EU power generation in 2025, report finds (Ajit Niranjan, The Guardian)
The Long Heat: Climate Politics When It’s Too Late by Andreas Malm and Wim Carton. I’m going to try something new and share some of the books I’m reading as well as news stories. [Affiliate link]
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
Ecofascism (Wikipedia). It has come to my attention that at least one former subscriber to this newsletter seems to think that the recent actions of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency are ok. If you agree with them, I encourage you to unsubscribe. I don’t want to help you.
