I really don't think we have a shortage of sand. And you also have to consider how small computer chips are. Compare how much sand you need for a glass window versus a few CPUs.
Besides that, they wouldn't take sand from public beaches..
Sand is a non-renewable resource
Not all beaches are public, and not all are in America where there are laws that protect beaches.
Funny you say that because we are running out of sand. We can produce it but it'll just make things more expensive. Gangs have been stealing beaches
