US Meat Consumption per Person vs US Electricity Use per Capita
US Meat Consumption per Person and US Electricity Use per Capita correlate at r = +0.60 over 34 years (1990–2023), p = 1.8e-4. With the time trend removed, r = +0.58. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 1.8e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.58). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
