Paulos was on the staff of the Energy Foundation from 2000 to 2013, directing the renewable energy work for the whole time, utility efficiency work for five years, and creating and managing the first US grants program on advanced biofuels for three years.

His signature accomplishment at the Foundation was to develop strategies and support research and advocacy that expanded the number of state RPS laws from 12 to over 30. This will ensure that the US will get at least 10 percent of its power from renewables by 2025, and carbon emissions will be lower by 200 million tons per year.
