US Electricity Generation vs US Milk Consumption per Person
US Electricity Generation and US Milk Consumption per Person correlate at r = -0.56 over 39 years (1985–2023), p = 2.1e-4. With the time trend removed, r = +0.46. Direction flips without the trend.
Verdict: Direction flips without the trend. The raw correlation is -0.56, but once each series' time trend is removed it becomes 0.46. The year-to-year movements run the opposite way to the long-run trends, so the headline number is misleading.
