This just in from the Atlanta Business Chronicle:

U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., pledged Tuesday to push for congressional passage of an energy independence plan being pushed by billionaire Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens.

Chambliss said Pickens’ proposals to develop new domestic sources of energy while expanding proven American technology share much in common with bipartisan energy legislation he is sponsoring in the Senate.

“Boone’s got great ideas,” Chambliss said during a meeting with Atlanta Business Chronicle editors and reporters. “He knows I agree with him.”

Chambliss went on to say he will sign T. Boone Pickens’ Energy Independence Pledge. Where do your state’s officials stand? Take a moment to forward them the pledge and find out.
