US Annual CO₂ Emissions vs US Electricity Generation
US Annual CO₂ Emissions and US Electricity Generation correlate at r = +0.47 over 40 years (1985–2024), p = 0.0021. With the time trend removed, r = +0.91. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0021) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.91). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
