US Air Passengers Carried vs US Electricity Use per Capita
US Air Passengers Carried and US Electricity Use per Capita correlate at r = +0.39 over 34 years (1990–2023), p = 0.022. With the time trend removed, r = +0.39. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.022) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.39). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
