US Natural Gas Consumption vs US GDP per Capita
US Natural Gas Consumption and US GDP per Capita correlate at r = +0.90 over 61 years (1965–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.69. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.69). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
