Abstract:

The physical property of energy and people’s attitude to it constitute the enthical dimension of energy related relationship
which is fully refelcted in the energy law. The energy law contains rich ethical implications and reveals different
aspects of energy: restraint is the demand by ethics from the perspective of economics,which means energy law is first of all
a law of energy conservation;efficiency is the demand by ethics from the perspective of science and technology,which means
energy law is a law of energy efficiency;order is the demand by ethics from the perspective of politics,which means energy
law is also a law of energy security;cleanness is the demand by ethics from the perspective of ecology,which means energy
law is a law of energy and environmental protection;sustainable utilization is the demand by ethnics in an overall sense,which
means energy law is ultimately a law of energy continuation. All of these demands act as the major forces to the evolution
of energy law which integrates economic law,science and technology law,international law,environment law and law for
sustainable utilization. Therefore,the energy law shall be listed in the sustainable development law.
