Ed's Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List 04.05.26
2026, #12
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 70 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:
Used EVs are a bargain right now — and buyers are noticing (Jeff St. John, Canary Media)
This spring has been a record season for renewables (Kathryn Krawczyk, Canary Media). This happens every spring, but it is still a nice bit of good news in an otherwise depressing time. It is also good to see the trend continue.
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
The Iran War is Causing Energy Chaos in Asia (Joshua Kurlantzick, Council on Foreign Relations). This was written on March 18 when benchmark oil prices were $95/barrel. As of Tuesday evening, Brent Crude is priced at $105/barrel.
