Green tinge for a Blue Book?

For a governing party that has done well by the returns of black gold, the Progressive Conservatives are putting a lot of stock in clean energy, at least according to what you'll find in the energy blueprint released this week.
Yep, there's still plenty in there on oil and gas (the government's claim on a 10 per cent stake in future oil and gas projects understandably got the party's attention), but the plan has a fair bit to say about wind power, hydroelectricity and even smaller items, like shifting the provincial government's fleet of vehicles to cleaner models.
The Blue Book was the policy guide for the PCs in the 2003 election. One would expect a similar guide to come out once the campaign launches in earnest next week ... and, quite likely, to have a green twist.
