Ed's Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List 10.18.26
2026, #37
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 67 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. 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:
A new gas line or cash to electrify? California lets households choose. (Alison F. Takemura, Canary Media). This is an exciting new idea to help homeowners and building owners decarbonize their buildings. It's not limited to just California either. Colorado is working on this and there are programs in New York as well.
Climate solutions most likely to reach ‘positive tipping points’ revealed by scientists (Matthew Pearce, The Guardian). If you’re intrigued, or if you’re early in your career and trying to figure out where to make an impact, there is more detail at Green Futures Solutions here.
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
Michigan Spill Prompts Federal Probe of Energy Transfer Pipelines’ Safety (Marianne Lavelle, Inside Climate News). Energy Transfer is the same company that was referred to in an article I shared about a pipeline leak in Pennsylvania a few weeks ago. They are also working with Oracle to build a natural gas pipeline to a massive proposed data center called Project Jupiter in New Mexico.
