Baldwin residents cautiously optimistic car plant will come to pass - al.com: "BAY MINETTE — Blaine Chastang may drive a diesel Ford truck, but the owner of North Baldwin Pharmacy says he looks forward to the day his city manufactures hybrid cars.

Though he doesn't think he'll trade in his truck any time soon for one of the proposed hybrids, he expects local pride will lead some, especially those who could end up being employed by Hybrid Kinetic Motors, to drive the hybrid cars on Bay Minette's roads.

'They may want to buy something they or a family member built around here,' he said."
