US Air Passengers Carried vs US Wind Power Generation
US Air Passengers Carried and US Wind Power Generation correlate at r = +0.63 over 41 years (1983–2023), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.35. Direction flips without the trend.
Verdict: Direction flips without the trend. The raw correlation is 0.63, but once each series' time trend is removed it becomes -0.35. The year-to-year movements run the opposite way to the long-run trends, so the headline number is misleading.
