Tomasz Wiltowski, director of the Advanced Coal and Energy Research Center, observes equipment used at the Illinois Energy Development Park on Friday, March 10, 2017, in Carterville. The center is one of 15 centers or initiatives SIU’s non-academic prioritization committee, which was appointed by interim Chancellor Brad Colwell, suggested could become self-supporting with the goal of eliminating state funding by 2022. Wiltowski said community events like Energy Day and energy forums would have to be eliminated if such cuts were implemented. “We have to bring the community together,” he said. “We have to educate the community. What is energy about? What is how to conserve the energy? Like why we are paying such high prices for electricity or gas?” (Jacob Wiegand | @jawiegandphoto)
