Counterpoint, most of the world does not have access to "middle of nowhere" regions with lots of sunlight, that is just Australia and a few places near major deserts.

If only there was some way we could transport energy from these areas of the world with cheap land and plentiful sunlight to those areas where the energy was required.

Yeah, ideally a way that doesn't leak out of pretty much anything like hydrogen does.

Embrittlement is a problem but it can be mitigated with careful selection of materials and ceramic coatings et cetera.
