Taylor Kuykendall covers the metal and mining sector for S&P Global Market Intelligence’s news division with a deep history covering the U.S. coal sector in particular. He regularly tracks both coal production and generation trends with an eye toward potential shifts driven by policy, markets, and technology. Recent work has also included broader coverage of environmental, social and governance issues in the mining and energy sectors as investors increasingly pressure both to address concerns in those areas.
