I think there's a certain limit where the line losses just from the resistance of the wire would be greater than the dissipation losses from converting the electricity into microwave radiation and reconverting it on the receiving end. Then again, if we had that technology available then it would make the most sense to have solar panel satellites beaming their acquired energy down to receiver stations rather than generating it on earth and sending it elsewhere. I wonder how much London, New York, LA, or Dubai would pay for electricity that also cuts 1% of the sunlight overhead while it is being generated, making the weather cooler and decreasing the amount of electricity needed in the process?
