Ed's Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List 03.15.26
2026, #9
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.
Happy birthday to the newsletter! I’ve been doing this for 9 years now. Thank you to everyone out there, paid or not. This thing has changed my life.
There are 74 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. 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:
As Californians electrify, can this tech combo prevent grid overload? (Jeff St. John, Canary Media)
[Podcast] The fate of fossil fuel systems in the "mid-transition" (David Roberts, Volts)
Vineyard Wind, country's first large-scale offshore wind project, finishes construction (Miriam Wasser, WBUR News)
Now comes the heat. (Bill McKibben, The Crucial Years). Bill discusses how New York Governor Kathy Hochul is considering weakening the landmark New York Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (about halfway down). If you’re a New Yorker, consider letting your Governor and state legislators know you want the CLCPA to stay in place.
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
How Montana tribes are using sovereignty to restore their waterways (Emily Senkosky, High Country News)
