I'm not saying it has to be transported, but it's well-known that we could theoretically cover the world's electricity needs by placing some solar panels in the middle of a desert, if only that energy could be transported. At the same time you would avoid all the NIMBYs etc. Of course it's not realistic, that's why other forms of electricity are used, like wind and geothermal.
