US Energy Use per Capita vs US Gross Savings
US Energy Use per Capita and US Gross Savings correlate at r = +0.39 over 55 years (1970–2024), p = 0.0032. With the time trend removed, r = -0.07. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0032) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.07). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
