In a new twist to the long running saga of renewable energy tax breaks in the U.S. the House of Representatives has passed a modified bill rather than rubber stamping the bill already passed in the Senate.

The new bill passed by the House included a raise in taxes as well as separating the Alternative Minimum Tax proposal from the main bill. White House Office of Management and Budget said they would now recommend to the President that he should veto the new bill. The bill needs to be identical in both the House and Senate to avoid a veto by the President.
