US Homicide Rate vs US Nuclear Power Generation
US Homicide Rate and US Nuclear Power Generation correlate at r = -0.89 over 31 years (1990–2023), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.77. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.77). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
