I haven't had time to check the math on the incident energy from the Sun. I had assumed that Zeev's number was correct, as he usually is <ggg>. The device you speak of to convert heat into electrical does exist. It does not break any laws of thermodynamics. It simply increases the efficiency of energy consumption. This strategy will be employed in hybrid cars (I don't know exactly when). The heat from braking will be recaptured and converted to electrical energy, which will then be stored back into the battery. You see how energy is being conserved (not dissipated into heat), not created? As far as pumping heat across the continents, the grand idea is feasible. This simply amounts to geothermal pumps. They too already exist, and do increase the energy efficiency of homes, in the right geographical locations. However, to do so on the grand scale you suggest must be approached with caution, as the consequences must be well understood. For example, the polar ice caps might recede too quickly and have cataclysmic consequences.
