US Wind Power Generation vs Worldwide Strong Earthquakes (M6+)
US Wind Power Generation and Worldwide Strong Earthquakes (M6+) correlate at r = -0.34 over 43 years (1983–2025), p = 0.025. With the time trend removed, r = -0.39. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.025) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.39). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
