US Electricity Generation vs US Nuclear Power Generation
US Electricity Generation and US Nuclear Power Generation correlate at r = +0.94 over 41 years (1985–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.86. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.86). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
