It is embargoed for 6AM EDT tomorrow and I will respect that embargo, look for the full details here then. (6AM EDT/3AM PDT)
I can tell you what’s NOT in it for now; no carbon tax/excise tax increase on gasoline that I can find.

I look forward to your comments. Though I will likely sleep a couple hours beyond when they are available.
I have a copy of the the president’s climate action plan
————————————
So do I – it’s hanging on a roller in the bathroom. He can have it back when I’m done with it though.
What did a European journalist call this hoax of AGW. He called it mass collective hysteria.
Yeah…that’s a very good doscription.
The “War on Coal” will continue.
I would expect a parallel set of actions to those that are currently screwing UK into the ground. A program to close coal fired power generation (effectively regulating them out of business). An increase in subsidies for ‘green power’ windmills and solar, restrictions on fracking, oil exploration and another denial of the Keystone Pipeline. After all Obama shares a Common Purpose with Cameron.
All will be carried out by Executive Orders through the EPA and other agencies nothing will be presented to Congress – who needs checks and balances? The MSM will be delighted and congratulate the President on his wisdom and farsightedness.
Winter this year will be brutal – and will be blamed on ‘climate’ so the information poor understand why they are being taxed.
Note that the SCOTUS has declined to review the EPA’s clearance to allow 15% Ethanol.
“The Supreme Court on Monday declined to review a case that charged federal regulators allowed a mid-level ethanol fuel blend onto the market without proper testing.”
“The move preserves a space at the gas pump for E15 fuel, a mix comprised of 15 percent ethanol — compared with the standard 10 percent — and 85 percent petroleum by leaving intact a 2009 Environmental Protection Agency ruling that E15 is safe to use in cars made in 2001 or later.”

This is bad news for all consumers as Engine manufacturers have claimed this will cause more engine failures and puts the responsibility on the fuel suppliers to prevent errors in fueling which is inevitable . The government plans to subsidize additional pump installations at tax payers expense which is not cheap since additional tanks are required for a 4th grade fuel.
This ruling is especially bad for marine engines and small engines since Ethanol attracts water and over longer storage periods results in fuel breakdowns and high maintenance. The 10% Ethanol has already caused extensive problems and Marine engine manufacturers have voided warranties for use of E15. I know several individuals who have paid a fortune to have spoiled E 10 fuel pumped out of their boat tanks and discarded. This is expensive since boats have large tanks and fuel must be stored over winter layup. .
Also since Ethanol has less BTU’s than conventional gasoline MPG will suffer.
Finally the EPA studies have admitted that there is no environmental benefit from Ethanol laced fuel when everything is considered.
Hope that the SCOTUS will save us from horrible EPA actions fades.
Maybe it’s more a plan to get an important good payed position in Nondemocratic UNFCCC “World Government”?
Are we, or are we not going to be taxed for breathing and farting?
That’s all I want to know.
I bet it’s just like the Cornell University’s “Climate Action Plan”
http://www.sustainablecampus.cornell.edu/initiatives/climate-action-plan
You know, I actually hope the Prez. understands that AGW is just a scam, and that he is just another (in a long line of) Chicago politician on the make. The only alternative is that he’s just not very bright.
Ed, Claude,
Take a cigar! I don’t know if that’s what’s in the document, but that’s the plan.
Louis,
Yes, we will be.
——————-
2016 will come. Someday. I’ve just got to hold on to that.
And, this might be the speech outline, call it “PowerPoint Environmentalism”
This PPT was given the wingnuts of Cornell March 2013 as a ‘trial balloon’ perhaps?
I bet there is a 250 Billion Green Energy Stimulus …. so they can lard up the 2014 political coffers….
And … If Biden is there … High Speed Commuter Rail.

The anticipation is building – realize that by this time tomorrow we’ll all have been given the President’s CLAP. Is everyone as excited as I am?
While in custody awaiting arraignment or during the serving of the sentence? Remember, you’ll be on/in federal property at that time …

Anthony. Post it at 6:00 am. We’ll be here and waiting.

The plan is simple:
1) Reward the president’s allies, political supporters, campaign supporters using public money for their private benefit.
2) Punish the president’s opponents, punish opponents of the president’s allies and punish the opponents of their supporters.
3) Insert the federal government more deeply into the lives of all Americans and make us more dependent.
4) Make America weaker.
5) When the programs make ordinary Americans poorer, create another program to redistribute money from those who don’t support the president to those who do.

It’s Bush’s fault.
Are you ready for the long, hot summer?

That leaves a whole lot of what is in it.
Please advise us what is in it as soon as you can because I sure as hell won’t listen to the speech. I passed my BS intake quota a long time ago.
I have to admit, the cover page looks nice. Simple. Maybe that’s a good sign.
Remember, control of energy goes beyond boarders.
This is a telling post. Pay attention to it, and what it means.

Look for reductions in sales of coal to other countries… The final nail in the coffin of coal, God save us from this terror. ”

Do we know what the administration is thinking?
The observant integrator does.
C’mon, it aint Obama, it’s Axelrod and Jarred. Check them out in depth and be prepared to be terrified!
Yup, the folks at the steering wheel are not that guy who had to deal with the sun (another teleprompter fail) in Germany recently.
How many unelected officials run this country now?
There are some things you can’t hide.
Do you see them?
It’s about energy in the end 🙂
Mr. Tisdale. Obama is anything but transparent. The blank cover is designed to mislead. I agree with other posters that he will use the EPA regulatory scheme to keep Congress from interfering. I have a few ideas on how to fight this, but I will wait until after the plan is revealed to post them. But basically. if about 150 coal plants voluntarily shut down because Obama is going to punish coal, the difference could not be made up from other sources. This could lead to brown outs. The problem is the tariffs and whether they would prevent this.

Word from the White House is that the boat and skis are ready .. they even brought in Henry Winkler to give the President last minute tips.
Yes, tomorrow, the President will “Jump the Shark” with his Climate Policy based on the the “settled science” and consensus that have all the markings of political theater and nothing to do with science. The EPA, stuck in the past, and unwilling to follow the science where it leads, have given our President everything he needs to fight his “War on Coal.”
In the days ahead, little children will begin to utter the refrain, much like the way the horses always whinnied at the mention of Frau Blücher, but instead the refrain will be from Little Jack of the movie “Meet the Fockers”
…Asshole!
Oh, grow a pair. Republicans took care of Henry Ross Perot in two weeks. It’s taking two terms to get this one.
