Over-reliance on decontextualized, standardized implementation of eff?cacy evidence has contributed to slow integration of evidence-based interventions into health policy and practice. This article describes an “evidence integration triangle” (EIT) to guide translation, implementation, prevention efforts, comparative effectiveness research, funding, and policy-making. The EIT emphasizes interactions among three related components needed for effective evidence implementation: (1)...

Summary: In our work at E Source we analyze lots of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and demand response technologies. The first thing we do is determine whether or not they are technically capable of providing the benefits that their vendors claim. That’s the easy part. We also have to make some judgment regarding whether the companies providing these technologies are likely to succeed at bringing them to market.

Summary: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can make significant cuts in Greenhouse Gas emissions and will need to be part of the forward planning for developing future global energy resources. CCS technology comprises a number of steps: 1) CO2 is captured at the source (e.g., a power plant or gas production facility); 2) the captured CO2 is compressed to a supercritical state and transported, typically via pipeline, from the source to the geologic storage site; 3) the CO2 is injected via...
