US Energy Use per Capita vs US Inflation Rate
US Energy Use per Capita and US Inflation Rate correlate at r = +0.29 over 60 years (1965–2024), p = 0.027. With the time trend removed, r = +0.16. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.027) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.16). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
