US Nuclear Power Generation vs US College Enrollment
US Nuclear Power Generation and US College Enrollment correlate at r = +0.97 over 39 years (1971–2022), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.79. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.79). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
