Ed's Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List 10.19.25
2025, #39
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.
Access to jobs that require less than five years experience or that are located outside of the U.S. are and will remain free. There are individual subscriptions ($7/month or $70/year) available as well as career center subscriptions ($300/year). 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:
How Trump gutted the team meant to build America’s energy future (Maria Gallucci, Canary Media) This sucks. These are people who worked hard, had specialist knowledge of how to get shit done in the U.S. government, and did good damn work. And most of them were nice, decent people to boot.
“We are eliminating ourselves as a leader in the clean energy space, especially for the industrial complex,” one person said. “What I’m seeing is China is about to slip right into that position. Just logically and economically, I don’t understand the steps that are being taken.”
OpenAI’s New Energy Chief Is a Trump Administration Natural Gas Evangelist (Rei Rakver, DeSmog)
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
Environmental Advocates Keep Eyes on Iconic Chicago Silos as Demolition Resumes (Aydali Campa, Inside Climate News)
Montana Court Dismisses Youth-led Lawsuit Challenging Trump Executive Orders Boosting Fossil Fuels (Dana Drugmand, Inside Climate News)
