Quote:"There is simply no viable way to collect the vast majority of that energy"

Why would you need that much? A total space as small as 2% of the uninhabited areas in the Sahara would be enough to fulfill all current energy demand. And that's without any improvement to existing techniques.
As others have pointed out, you need to generate electricity near where its going to be used. And a quick look at a map will show you the vast majority of the human race is not currently living near deserts, as they tend to be pretty crappy places to live.
