Why all the new Diesel Vehicles???

I just got the new issue of "Diesel Power" magazine, and I have been reading about all the new diesel cars and trucks that are in the works....I've seen several articles like this recently...

I did'nt know that there was such an upturn toward diesel power in the United States.

Are we going to start relying on diesel instead of ethanol or something else???

Did I miss some major new breakthrough????
