2024, Issue 35
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.
I’ve made changes to my subscription model, read about it here. Jobs that require less than five years experience remain free.
There are individual subscriptions available as well as career center subscriptions. 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:
On Climate Week and Toxic Positivity (Amy Westervelt, Drilled).
Keep yelling about climate change (Emily Atkin, Heated).
Oregon county sues major gas provider for allegedly sowing climate doubt (Dharna Noor, The Guardian)
Volunteers bring solar power to Hurricane Helene’s disaster zone (Gabriela Aoun Angueira, AP News)
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
Our leaders are collaborators with fossil fuel colonialists. This is the source of our communal dread. (Tim Winton, The Guardian)
Signal Boost:
Clean Energy Disaster Relief for Western North Carolina. https://energync.org/disaster-relief-fund/. Watching the news coming out of western North Carolina and the other parts of the Southeast that were destroyed by Hurricane Helene and then Hurricane Milton has been pretty horrific. If you can support the relief efforts, please contribute what you can.
