Long distance transmission usually has losses of no more than 10%, using old technology.
I have been formally educated on wind and solar power generation. So I know we can not solve all our problems by building solar farms. Any one who has studied the issue in a professional capacity knows this.

I ran some numbers after fukashima nuclear power disaster , if Japan bought all the solar panels on earth it wouldn't even be enough to replace their nuclear power generation.

Plus you are worrying about how much consumers use. Consumers don't really use a whole lot of power. Where I work we use enough electricity to power a 2,500 square foot home for a family of 5 for 10 to 12 years and we use that much power every single day.
Then use some where around 2 billion BTUs worth of natural gas, every month. That's enough natural gas to heat your home for 60 winters.

Oh yeah the situation is real bad. The polar ice caps should have melted in 2010.
If past performance is any indication of future results the global warming thing is being over stated by at least 20,000%.
