US Electricity Generation vs US Electricity Use per Capita
US Electricity Generation and US Electricity Use per Capita correlate at r = +0.54 over 35 years (1990–2024), p = 8.6e-4. With the time trend removed, r = +0.93. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 8.6e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.93). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
