Canadian citizens are proud to have a standard of living that has routinely been selected as among the best in the world. The wealth of resources found in Canada, in particular the large quantity of fossil fuels and hydroelectric power, has contributed greatly to our quality of life. However, as the world's population grows towards 10 billion by 2050, and the Earth's non-renewable fuel sources are gradually depleted, the demand for energy will exceed currently projected reserves. Although Canadian energy reserves may satiate our own demands for energy in the foreseeable future, they may also slow our response to the impending world energy crisis and global climate change, and more significantly, impede our commitment to alternative energy research out of complacency. This would be a grave error as Canadians would be at a scientific and technological disadvantage compared to less energy independent nations for generations to come. Thus, this special strategic grant cycle may stimulate Canada's involvement in alternative energy research and the concomitant training of
