Ed's Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List 12.14.25
2025, #46
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 62 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. 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:
Revised Definitions of the Verb “To Google” (Jessica Camargo, McSweeney’s).
NextEra working with Exxon to develop gigawatt data center for hyperscaler (Spencer Kimbal, CNBC). Another reason to dislike LLMs and crappy image generators. “The company is the largest renewable energy developer in the U.S., but it is leaning into natural gas to meet the growing power demand from data centers.”
Utility industry insider joins interviews for Gov. Moore’s appointments to the PSC. (Matt Kasper, Energy and Policy Institute).
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
Gaza Faces Another Catastrophic Winter as Environmental and Humanitarian Devastation Mount (Keerti Gopal, Inside Climate News)
The EPA Let Companies Estimate Their Own Pollution Levels. We Discovered Real Emissions Are Far Worse (Lisa Song, ProPublica)
