US Coal Consumption vs US Electricity Use per Capita
US Coal Consumption and US Electricity Use per Capita correlate at r = +0.45 over 35 years (1990–2024), p = 0.0074. With the time trend removed, r = +0.89. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0074) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.89). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
