US Energy Use per Capita vs US Health Expenditure
US Energy Use per Capita and US Health Expenditure correlate at r = -0.94 over 24 years (2000–2023), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.63. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.63). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
