Most energy intensive work is also mass/volume intensive as well - as in it's producing something. Obvious exception is something like a data-center. Since transporting goods has a cost in itself, it'll probably continue to be cheaper to ship electricity across land, than to relocate plants (in general, there will always be exceptions), especially if we need big, efficient transmission to get energy from the desert into cities (cause those won't move) anyways.
