Ed's Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List 03.01.26
2026, #7
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 84 jobs and internships in the full version of the newsletter this week. Its a long one this week, so you may want to use the ‘view in browser' button at the top of the page. If you are a paid member and you don’t see the full list on the website, make sure you are signed in (hint: check the top right corner).
Access to jobs that require less than five years experience or that are located outside of the U.S. are and will remain free. For jobs requiring more than five years experience, there are individual subscriptions ($7/month or $70/year) available. I also offer career center subscriptions ($300/year) which provides access for up to 10 users. 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.
Voting is the most important thing you can do to enact climate policy and drive change at scale. Primaries for the 2026 U.S. local, state and federal elections start soon. Find information about how to register where you live here: https://www.vote.org/. If you want to do more, consider volunteering with the Environmental Voter Project.
What I'm reading this week:
Ohio corruption trial traces tactics to prop up nuclear and coal plants (Kathiann M. Kowalski, Canary Media).
Hurricane Helene Is Headed for Georgians’ Electric Bills (Ryan Krugman, Inside Climate News). We are already paying for the impacts of climate change in very real ways.
Surviving on Trump's Dangerous Planet (Bill McKibben, The Crucial Years)
Cubans fight blackouts with solar as US extends oil chokehold (Anett Rios and Alien Fernandez, Reuters)
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
Virginia House Delays Action on Bill Banning Paraquat (Charles Paullin, Inside Climate News). “The lethal pesticide is banned in Europe, China and many other countries. But not a single state in the U.S. has followed suit, despite research indicating that paraquat exposure increases the risks of Parkinson’s disease.”
How a Groundbreaking Indigenous Treaty on Whales’ Rights Could Change National Laws (Katie Surma, Inside Climate News)
