In fact, two of the three big US car companies have decided to forego hybrids and advanced diesels in order to devote a lot of their development resources to hydrogen fuel cells. DaimlerChrysler on the other hand, which is for all practical purposes a German company, is devoting its resources to advanced diesels. Many of the Japanese automakers are spending a lot on hybrids. Alternative energy is a hot topic in the US, particularly in that town just north of Canada.
