Humans have managed to build out a global network of fiber to enable a global Internet.
I wonder if we can do the same for electricity distribution, mitigating the uneven electricity generation of solar (day vs night, summer vs winter, etc.)

What is more likely is projects like

Where neighbouring countries share generation and consumption (lots of western European countries already do this)
Those that have more pressing needs or have more aligned opportunities will invest first, then the cost goes down as the scale and technology improves, and the global network is built.
Geopolitics might be a big stumbling block though.
