US Electricity Use per Capita vs US Life Expectancy
US Electricity Use per Capita and US Life Expectancy correlate at r = +0.43 over 35 years (1990–2024), p = 0.0091. With the time trend removed, r = +0.52. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0091) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.52). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
