No, we are running out of sand — that we can harvest — because of threats and protests from leftist wackos and republican Jeb Bush types.

Yeah, right? Every climate alarmist idiot from Greta “Scoldilocks’’Thunberg to Miss Zanti Misfit(aka AOC) is telling us we’re running of water, we’re running out of clean air, we’re running out of this and we’re running out that. And yet in the same breath, according to The Barmaid From Manhattan , NYC we’ve only got, well now 11.5 years left so what’s the point in worrying?

Sand is a renewable resource. It’s ALWAYS getting made.

The problem is that desert sand is different from river sand, and much less satisfactory for construction purposes.
Did not know this until reading the article. If it wasnt for the oil, the land in the middle east would be TOTALLY worthless.
