* Responsible for a $175 million loan to the "poster child" of
mountaintop removal coal mining: Massey Energy.
* Major funder of Peabody Energy, the largest mining company in the
world. Peabody was recently implicated in the contamination of
Navajo and Hopi water sources in the Black Mesa area that extends
through northern Utah and Arizona. Furthermore, Bank of America

Mid-American Energy operates dozens of power plants across the
U.S. and England.

Ultimately, global warming presents a much greater threat to our planet than the war in Iraq. However, the war will be the first and foremost issue in the minds of the American people as long as our troops are there. The longer that we stay in Iraq, the longer it will take our country to focus on the threats to our global environment.
