The Atlion Department of Energy is the Cabinet-level federal department responsible for government policies related to energy usage, the national electrical grid, and the handling and safekeeping of nuclear materials. Its responsibilities include energy conservation, clean energy research, nuclear waste disposal, and domestic energy production and regulation. The Department of Energy is headquartered at the Dan Davis Department of Energy Building in Luminaire, Atlion.

History

The Department of Energy was formed after the 1973 oil crisis by executive order. The order cited a need to consolidate and centralize energy policy and planning to prevent a rapid spike in energy prices akin to what occurred after the OAPEC embargo. The new department would not only regulate fossil fuel supply and planning, but also other energy industry-related functions, such as regulating civil electricity and nuclear materials.

Organization

The Department of Energy is administrated by the Atlion Secretary of Energy, appointed by the President of Atlion. The current Secretary of Energy is Soledad Campos. The Energy Secretary is assisted in managing and operating the Department by the Deputy Secretary of Energy, also appointed by the President. The Energy department is divided into three undersecretariats, each headed by an Under Secretary of Energy, each appointed by the President.
