Energy is the foundation of human activities and has driven the evolution of human civilization and social development. Although fossil fuel causes great progress in industrial civilization worldwide, its consumption also brings negative effects, e.g., environmental pollution, global climate change, energy poverty, and energy safety. In the meantime, the fast growing on high-carbon energy and total energy consumption in China has become one of the primary causes of the ecological unbalance and continues domestic environmental deterioration such as air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution, etc. The key to solving the current environmental and climate problems is to promote energy revolution and realize a green life-cycle process of energy production, transmission, consumption. Pushing forward the construction of ecological civilization will also be the basic factor. This paper reviews the history of human culture and energy evolution. It analyzes the trend of global energy evolution and puts forward suggestions to promote energy revolution under the background of construction of ecological civilization.
