US Marriage Rate vs US Renewable Energy Share
US Marriage Rate and US Renewable Energy Share correlate at r = -0.86 over 57 years (1965–2022), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.30. Likely spurious (shared time trend).
Verdict: Likely spurious (shared time trend). Both series mostly just trend over time. After removing that trend the correlation collapses to -0.30 — the relationship is probably coincidental, not causal.
