Power consumption causes economic development and becomes the main pollution source, including
air pollution. Power consumption appreciably responds to the economic fluctuation. Different historic
crises’ gravity and abrupt economic recession show up in power consumption and hotbed gases’ emission.
In this article the analysis of the relations among the financial crisis, economic development, power-saving
and the emission’s reduction has been carried out and it shows that the financial crisis will inevitably
lead to the power consumption’s reduction and to the emission’s reduction. But the crisis is a short term
phenomenon, and the economic growth takes time. As in any developing country, in China the pressure
of the reduction of hotbed gases’ emission is intensifying. As for power-saving and emission’s reduction, t is necessary to discuss these phenomena in details; and it is also necessary to develop the low-carbon way, not to ignore it
