Concerned about hacking by foreign governments, tech entrepreneur and philanthropist Craig Newmark is putting $100 million into efforts to bolster U.S. cybersecurity. Some of the funds will go to a University of Chicago program to train a corps of cybersecurity volunteers to protect local infrastructure as well as a nonprofit that promotes internet safety for children. But most of the money, $88 million, remains to be allocated, and groups can apply on the Craig Newmark Philanthropies website. (Wall Street Journal— subscription)
A coalition of conservationists and locals, some of whom had once been at odds, came together to stop new oil and gas drilling in a pristine part of Colorado. The Bush administration issued about 80 drilling leases in the Thompson Divide, about 250,000 acres of public land in west-central Colorado. Earlier efforts to save the expanse had foundered on disagreements between cyclists and snowmobilers, on the one side, and conservationists on the other. This time, they found success when they joined forces, and lawyers for an environmental nonprofit discovered legal vulnerabilities in the drilling leases. Nervous energy companies started to back out, and this year the Biden administration put a 20-year pause on new oil and gas development to give Congress time to pass permanent protections for the land.
