Abstract
The contradiction between economic development, resources and environment is becoming more and more important every day. Based on the proposed energy conservation, this paper will study whether reducing energy consumption hinders economic growth. This article considers the spatial heterogeneity factors and the different energy consumption levels between different areas. Through empirical analysis, we discuss the quantitative relationship between energy consumption and economic growth from different areas. Finally, we propose long- and short-term strategic arrangements for energy consumption in order to facilitate sustainable development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract
In this paper, we review the energy efficiency in China, and the following topics are discussed. (i) Some useful empirical analyses applied on the energy efficiency based on some expanded models, (ii) the relationship among environment, energy and economic growth, (iii) some important environmental efficiency evaluation indexes, and (iv) some latest researches on the emission system. Finally, some policy recommendations are made. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
