US Electricity Use per Capita vs US Infant Mortality
US Electricity Use per Capita and US Infant Mortality correlate at r = -0.37 over 35 years (1990–2024), p = 0.029. With the time trend removed, r = -0.76. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.029) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.76). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
