US Renewable Energy Share vs US Solar Energy Consumption
US Renewable Energy Share and US Solar Energy Consumption correlate at r = +0.86 over 43 years (1983–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.75. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.75). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
