US Solar Energy Consumption vs US Youth Unemployment
US Solar Energy Consumption and US Youth Unemployment correlate at r = -0.49 over 35 years (1991–2025), p = 0.0031. With the time trend removed, r = -0.45. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0031) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.45). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
