Well, this sounds like something straight out of science fiction — but it’s real. The longest conveyor belt in the US is quietly hauling sand across Texas, and no, it’s not part of a dystopian movie set.
The belt stretches for miles and is used to transport sand for fracking operations. That’s right — Texas isn’t just big, it’s efficient. Why move sand by truck when you can just… belt it?
‘It’s a marvel of engineering,’ said one industry expert. Translation: ‘We found a way to move sand faster than we fix potholes.’
Environmentalists are already raising concerns about the belt’s impact on the local ecosystem — but so far, officials are brushing it off.
Stay tuned — because apparently, Texas is ready to belt out a new kind of energy boom. 🌵
