Coal research clash over funding and boards in Illinois
State Sen Kenneth Buzbee and INR director Frank Beal push ambitious coal research plans aiming to expand Illinois coal use. They differ on funding sources with Buzbee favoring public utility funds and a general revenue shift, while Beal seeks to preserve INR funding and possible utility funding. Both want an overseeing Coal Commerce Office and new SIU Carbon dale center to guide applied research and industry support.
