There are "deserts galore" but you get many times as much energy from solar power in space. As for roast birds that shouldn't be an issue. The energy would not be concentrated enough (the reciever would be enormous). However it might cause an interference problem for any device that broadcasts and/or recieves at a frequency close to the frequency they use to beam the power down. I still think that building it in orbit might make more sense. Its less than 1/10th the distance of the moon. If you are building solar power satelites it also makes sense to be a space elevator or elevators (assuming that we have developed strong enough materials), which would make building the solar power satelites (and any other space activity) much less expensive. en.wikipedia.org spaceelevator.com space.com
