Ed's Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List 04.21.24
Ed's jobs list for the week of April 21, 2024
2024, Issue 14
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.
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 earn a subscription by generating 5 or more referrals. Click here for details.
If you are a paid subscriber, you also have access to my archives! Check out the jobs from last week here: https://edsjobslist.substack.com/archive.
What I'm reading this week:
A major US state just achieved a critical milestone: 'It's wild that this isn't getting more news coverage' (Jeremiah Budin, The Cool Down). The headline kind of buries the lede- California has been hitting 100+% renewable energy for various lengths of time over the past 32 days. For context, California has significant hydroelectric generation, in addition to its solar, wind, and geothermal. Combine temperate spring weather (low demand for heating/cooling), sunny days, and the beginning of the spring run off (lots of hydro generation), and you get a pretty clean grid in California in the spring. So, while this is great news, it doesn’t mean California can declare victory yet.
Corporate climate plans are improving, but still ‘critically insufficient’ (Joseph Winters, Grist). Related - Unilever to scale back environmental and social pledges (Rob Davies, The Guardian).
Homes need to electrify. New building codes will make that harder. (Jeff St. John, Canary Media).
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
Southeast utilities want to meet surging power demand with gas, not renewables (Jeff St. John, Energy News Network/Canary).
Fossil fuel industry infiltrates civil rights convention (Arielle Samuelson and Emily Atkin, Heated).
A couple of key points for the new folks (and the old hands):
I'm not a recruiter.
You can send me job tips by responding to this email. Help me help you by putting them in the format that I use. Thanks in advance!
I don't post unpaid internships.
This project is not related to my day job. Any opinions expressed here are mine alone and do not reflect those of my employer.

Good luck with your job search!
