US Nuclear Power Generation vs US Cereal Yield
US Nuclear Power Generation and US Cereal Yield correlate at r = +0.85 over 60 years (1965–2024), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.48. Direction flips without the trend.
Verdict: Direction flips without the trend. The raw correlation is 0.85, but once each series' time trend is removed it becomes -0.48. The year-to-year movements run the opposite way to the long-run trends, so the headline number is misleading.
