After the industrial revolution, productivity and advance of science and technology and living standard make people rely on the way of traditional economic development. In a very long period of time, resources and environment issues are viewed as temporary not of durability because of industrialization and economic growth. As a result, most people do not think it is a fundamental problem of industrialization and economic development. Until the 1980s, global warming, the damages of the ozone layer, ecological crisis been became a serious problem, environmental degradation just be gradually seriously rise. Facing the energy shortage and environmental degradation's double threat, developing green industry and green economy has become a global consensus, every countries start to pay attention to it. China is in the social and economic transformation critical stage of continuously improve of industrialization, urbanization, marketization and internationalization degree with many of the population and relative shortage of resources, weak of environmental bearing capacity, especially pressure of resources and environment. From current practical situation, despite the fact that both the consumption of energy and structure of economic are to the low carbonization development, but the energy consumption and the total carbon emissions in our country will still go rise before 2045 without the significant changes in technology and the structural transformation as a support, as well as the growth of population.(The green book《Low carbon development in China city2011》).Therefore, we must strive to resolve a series of new problems that come along these new conditions and situations such as the successive growth of the population, the acceleration of urbanization, the improvement of energy consumption and residents'living level, high proportion of the energy-intensive industry, resources shortage and restraint of the environment damage, the downplay position of the economic structure in the international division of labor ,the unclosed nature between the political and the social system in the transformation time.etc. Up to this day, in the wave of global economic integration, developing green economy and a low carbon economy has more practical urgency, especially against just happen soon global financial crisis situations, not only can promote energy conservation and emission reduction, transform the mode of economic development, but also can make full use of resources, expand domestic demand, provide new employments. From our own reality, reference to international advanced experience, adhere to the people-oriented, overall, coordinated and sustainable scientific development road to promote green economic development. This is our such a world's largest developing country cracked energy resource bottleneck, restrict problems, fully realize the objective requirement of the modernization and the inevitable choice. Our country at present is in the history key point of accelerating transformation of the mode of economic development. And we are actively building a resource-conserving and environment-friendly society, the green industry and a low carbon economy in the accelerate transformation will no doubt change the ways to develop. But judging from the actual, China green industries and a low carbon economy is just beginning, it has huge potential. As the important part of the research content, influences and changes of environmental regulation impact on industry performance and industrial technology innovation have been a focus of domestic and overseas scholars and people. Technology innovation is the underlying factor and main drive source of technology progress, thus, they are consistent. Here, "Potter hypothesis" become key content of scholars and government study environmental regulation and enterprise technology innovation. Porter hypothesis advocate positive policies of environmental protection. It suggests that rigorous and appropriate environmental policies can stimulate enterprises'technological innovation. The cost of the innovation will be more than covered by the benefits it brings, then the enterprises can be even more competitive. The article gets the result through the eastern and central regional panel date of 1999-2009. From the research of the eastern and central regional panel date of 1999-2009, we can conclude that the more developed eastern supports the hypothesis but the more backward central is on the opposite. According to this comparative result, we can reasonably explain the causes of the EKC from a new perspective. And the article also presents relevant policy path of China's economic and social development recommendations to strengthen environmental regulation, promote enterprise's technology innovation, enhance industrial core competitiveness and benefit balance both economic growth and environmental protection based on the foundation of the variance analysis.
