US Electricity Generation vs US Oil Consumption
US Electricity Generation and US Oil Consumption correlate at r = +0.58 over 41 years (1985–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.75. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.75). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
