US Nuclear Power Generation vs US Inflation Rate
US Nuclear Power Generation and US Inflation Rate correlate at r = -0.51 over 60 years (1965–2024), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.25. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.25). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
