US Electricity Generation vs US Military Expenditure
US Electricity Generation and US Military Expenditure correlate at r = -0.81 over 40 years (1985–2024), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.65. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.65). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
