Ed's Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List 11.1.26
2026, #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.
There are 61 jobs and internships in the full version of the newsletter this week. This week I heard from 4 people who found new jobs!
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:
Why smart people believe the myth that natural gas is clean (Emily Atkin, Heated)
50 years later, Amory Lovins’ soft energy path meets electrification (Daniel Cohan, The Conversation).
BNEF ups US energy storage deployment forecast by 30% (Brian Martucci, Utility Dive)
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
A Year After Floodwaters Swept Away an Alaskan Native Village, Residents Remain in Limbo (Olga Loginova, Inside Climate News)
Books I’m reading this week:
Sustainability Storytelling by Mike Hower. Mike is a friend and fellow EDF Climate Corps Alum who is now a sustainability communications consultant. He wrote this great book to share his experience as a sustainability communicator. He draws from his many years of experience, starting as a writer for what is now Trellis (formerly GreenBiz), to working for one of the largest communications firms in the world, to now working as an independent consultant. Check out his work!
A Walk in the Park by Kevin Fedarko. I’m enjoying this story of adventure and misadventure in the Grand Canyon. I’m only about a quarter of the way in, but its quite fun.
Disclosure- both books are affiliate links and if you purchase a book I may receive a small commission from Bookshop.org.
