• Chesapeake Bay:  Clarence is a strong supporter of protecting the Bay by reducing stormwater runoff and chemical pollutants, such as nitrogen and phosphorus.  
  

• Greenhouse gases:  Clarence supports measures that will reduce greenhouse gases, including a repeal of the state’s mined coal tax credit.  

• Renewable energy sources:  Clarence believes the state can increase the supply of green energy to consumers, which will promote renewable sources such as wind and solar energy and create new “green” jobs.

• Hydraulic fracturing:  Clarence supports a moratorium on “fracking” because there are serious concerns about groundwater contamination and adverse health effects, such as cancer clusters.  

• Cove Point:  Clarence opposes the conversion of Cove Point to a liquefied natural gas export facility because it will ultimately lead to greater pollution, more expensive domestic natural gas, and the increased demand for “fracking."
