Search every verified James Brock interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. James Brock, chairman and CEO of Core Natural Resources, discussed the company’s operations and the role of coal in energy markets during an October 2026 appearance on the National Mining Association’s Mining Matters program. He described Core Natural Resources as producing four coal products, operating an export port in Baltimore, and holding a 35% stake in a Norfolk, Virginia port facility. Brock said the company’s merger was based on the belief that the combined entity would be stronger than either company individually. Brock also addressed projected growth in electricity demand, stating that while some forecasts range from 2% to 4% annual increases, he personally estimates around 3%. He noted that electricity demand had been largely flat over the previous two decades and attributed part of the change to factors such as appliance efficiency, while adding that coal will continue to play a critical role in the energy mix for the foreseeable future. He called on Congress to adopt what he described as common sense policies and regulations to allow domestic resource production, saying that such measures would benefit U.S. citizens regardless of political party.
