We’ve reached Peak Sand.

But, due to the angle of repose, the peak is not that high.

I’ve been seriously considering claiming a few hundred acres here in florida via mining rights for sand... as long as you do some minimal amount of related mining you can control it for decades at little cost..

I’m sick of all the bullshit, “we’re running out of everything” crap.

The earth is abundantly wealthy because God made it so.

The only cause for scarily is what the Delusional Lying Leftists want: totalitarian government. Totalitarian government screws everything up.

The problem isn’t imagined scarcity of this or that. The problem is the Delusional Lying Left. The Delusional Lying Left IS the problem.

So, no evidence but we should be afraid, sounds kind of familiar.

Redesignate the Great Sand Dunes National Park and White Sands National Monument as the Strategic Sand Reserve.

Check Hillary.

I’ve been telling her to pack sand up her ass for years.

Might be a lot up there by now.

Put my quota of sand into fracking

Maybe start one of those on line White House petitions to allocate all US sand for fracking.

Yeah...that's it...the dims are big on nationalizing,,,so do it

Also must be a lot of sand in various national monument areas.

Perhaps we should not have told liberals to pound so much of it. They did, and found they liked it.

Sandy can't you see I'm in misery
We made a start now were apart
There's nothing left for me
Love has flown all alone
I sit and wonder why-yi-yi-yi
Why, you left me oh Sandy

What an incredibly silly article. These people have to invent the most ridiculous reasons to be worried so they can make life more difficult and expensive.

Sand is a basic building block of civilized life. Shutting down sand production from beaches and waterways means, unless you live next to a desert, you have to go further with greater transportation costs to get it, then they will bemoan the environmental impact of transporting it.
