The trouble is in sheer mass that is needed to be transported. Lets say you want to make a cup of tea. To heat cup of water you need Q=cmdT, having m=0,2 kg; dT=85'C;c=4200 kJ/kg'C gives amount of 71400 Joules. Thats equivalent of rising 1 ton concrete block into height of 7 meters!

For any practical implementation you need to literally move mountains. Real time.
