US Energy Use per Capita vs US Natural Gas Consumption
US Energy Use per Capita and US Natural Gas Consumption correlate at r = -0.45 over 61 years (1965–2025), p = 2.4e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.31. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 2.4e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.31). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
