New York Average Temperature vs US Electricity Generation
New York Average Temperature and US Electricity Generation correlate at r = +0.46 over 41 years (1985–2025), p = 0.0023. With the time trend removed, r = -0.11. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0023) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.11). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
