Electricity is much easier to transport than extremely heavy liquid fuel. Electricity is also easy to store despite what fossil fuel industry propaganda would have you believe.

no need to assume I believe something because someone fooled me.
Electricity is not easy to transport at all.
It needs infrastructure that might not exist yet in some areas or would require massive investments.
If electricity was so easy to transport we would not buy gas from Russia, we would buy the electricity directly from them.
Simply put: transporting the fuel is easier and cheaper.
Storing it for time of need is also a no brainer.
Not because fossil fuel industry told me, but because it is what it is.
Brasil loses 16% of their power production during distribution.
Don't get me wrong, I love solar energy, I installed solar panels at my house and thanks to State incentives I paid zero of the 35k euros it would have costed, but unfortunately we are not there yet.
Completely false, if this were the case we wouldn't be in such trouble. Long duration electricity storage at a large scale and affordable price point is an unsolved problem, it's the holy grail of the renewable energy puzzle.
Transportation of electricity over thousands of kilometers and through oceans is very hard as well. Routine with natural gas.
Maybe best if you get the basics straight before jumping into the discussion.
