US Nuclear Power Generation vs US Wind Power Generation
US Nuclear Power Generation and US Wind Power Generation correlate at r = +0.46 over 43 years (1983–2025), p = 0.0021. With the time trend removed, r = -0.85. Direction flips without the trend.
Verdict: Direction flips without the trend. The raw correlation is 0.46, but once each series' time trend is removed it becomes -0.85. The year-to-year movements run the opposite way to the long-run trends, so the headline number is misleading.
