Aren't we running out of sand? How is this a sustainable option.
We're running out of concrete sand, glass sand doesn't have to be as picky because you're melting it
So "technically" right but not "completely" right. Thanks for the explanation.

Aerogel isn't made our of sand
It's made from sodium silicate... Which is made from sand.
Aerogel is also 99% air. So not much sand.
Great, now we're going to run out of air
But will the shareholders be ok?
