The United States Secretary of Energy is the head of the United States Department of Energy and is a member of the President's Cabinet, fifteenth in the Presidential line of succession. The post was created with the formation of the Department of Energy on October 1, 1977, after the signing of the Department of Energy Organization Act by President Jimmy Carter.[1] The position was originally developed to be concerned with energy production and regulation. During the 1980s, the emphasis shifted to development of technology for better, more efficient energy sources as well as education regarding energy. As the Cold War ended, the secretary's tasks evolved more into nuclear waste disposal and maintenance of environmental quality.[2] List of Secretaries of Energy
