The U.S. government is gearing up for a politically charged fight over Solyndra's bankruptcy plan, as the former solar panel maker supported by President Barack Obama revealed a further $23 million in potential tax breaks for its venture capital backers, Reuters reported on Friday. A U.S. bankruptcy judge on Friday cleared the way for creditors to vote on the plan, and scheduled a hearing to consider approval on Oct. 17. An attorney for the Internal Revenue Service said his agency anticipated objecting, setting up a fight over tax breaks. They are on top of $341 million in potential tax breaks available to venture capital backers Madrone Partners and Argonaut Ventures that Solyndra disclosed earlier last week.
