Dow slides amid debt downgrade spurring global rout
The Dow fell 5.5 percent and posted its worst drop since 2008, closing under 11,000 as investors fled stocks for safer assets amid a global market rout. Gold reached record highs while Moody's kept AAA on U S debt for now, and Obama urged compromise to curb deficits. European lawmakers faced a spreading debt crisis with Italy and Spain at risk, prompting ECB bond purchases to lower yields.

Wildlife suffers through reduced seed production, shrinking insect populations, and lower reproduction across deer birds and prairie chickens.

ERCOT officials cautioned the grid will remain near capacity as temperatures may top 100 for two more weeks. A large generation unit tripped Monday afternoon, risking the lowest alert level and possible imports from neighboring grids. Demand peaked near 66,971 megawatts with about 3,000 megawatts offline for maintenance. Energy providers urge conservation while stressing the heat keeps generation under stress and upgrades may be needed.
