Second largest industrial producer of CO2. Shipping the sand long distance also makes it worse.

And it's also impractical. Our issue isn't the absolute availability of sand, it's the easy availability near use sites.

It’s not easily available near all use sites. Australia exports a lot of sand to the Middle East and South-East Asia, for example.
