    More green projects.
    Ocean fronts when you need to replace sand don't dreg it up use desert sand or go to a rock mine put rocks through a thing that crushes it to sand size and use that.
    Why well it reduces Ocean and river sand use it makes more sand it makes places for kids to Play at the water and as the water does its thing and washes some sand away wich will require replacing will end up making more needed and required sand.
    Yes water sand and the other sands I talked about are different desert is to round crushed rock is to um ruff water is just right said the girl who broke into the sand house.

      Those wires are waay oversized. This episode shows a rather old way of making solar panels. The ones seen here are 100-150 watts or so, which isn't all that much. The polycrystalline panel, the second one they show, is even smaller, probably 50 watts.

      were running out of rough construction suitable sand, which is rough and locks together better than other form factors of sand, which while it might overlap in SOME cases with glass making sand, the properties youre looking for are entirely different, you just need relatively pure, or impure in the ways you want, or impure but easily purified, silica sand for glass, vs construction/beach suitable sand where all you need is something thats coarse, and gritty, and gets everywhere.

      The title of the segment was not "Photovoltaic cells" but "Solar panels." During season 1 (which that segment was from), the show was still small and limited to domestic manufacturing processes in Canada. The photovoltaic cells were probably made elsewhere.
