US Coal Consumption vs US Inflation Rate
US Coal Consumption and US Inflation Rate correlate at r = -0.29 over 60 years (1965–2024), p = 0.023. With the time trend removed, r = -0.25. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.023) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.25). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
