Renewable project tax credits hang in limbo with July 4 break looming after Senate vote

摘要

Legislation to extend tax credits for developing wind, solar and other renewable energy resources before the credits expire in December remains in limbo following another failed attempt to overcome Republican opposition in the US Senate. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, left open the possibility of calling the bill back to the floor for another chance at passage before lawmakers are scheduled to begin their week-long break on July 4. But sources on and off Capitol Hill said there were no signs of an agreement or even negotiations between Democrats and Republicans, and that another vote could just be used to highlight the highly divisive political season.
