Ding ding ding we have a winner. There is actually a sand plant in Monterey California and that sand is specifically in demand for sand blasting, the natural granularity and cleanliness makes it ideal for sand blasting in machine shops. I don’t know about the practicality for outdoor blasting.

How about simply loading the vaccine into the plastic syringes and just eliminate the glass viles?

Guess what else???
IIRC, from watching ‘This Old House’-—it takes 2200++ degrees to melt that sand & make glass.
MUST use fossil fuels-—solar & wind won’t do that.....
IF plastic syringes must also be glass, then there is a further problem...
NO more windows for houses??? Autos/trucks? Mirrors???
Amuse yourself-—start a list of items that need fossil fuels. I am on page 12 of my list.

A precut stud in Austin sells for six bucks now. Ten bucks for a ten footer. Yikes. Plywood at fifty a sheet.

The world is running out of sand That's only true if you know how much sand there was to start with.
