Every system eventually goes wrong. A strong laser or microwave transmission would inevitably at some point get redirected to the wrong point, possibly a populated area.http://nationalpost.tumblr.com/post/68479696343/japans-plan-to-solve-the-worlds-energy-problems
To maintain a focused beam would require much of the energy gathered.
On the positive side, as long as nothing went wrong, we wouldn't be disturbing a large area of earth. Even the desert has some life.

A Japanese construction company is proposing to solve the energy problems facing Japan, and ultimately the entire planet, by turning the Moon into a solar power plant.
Shimizu Corp, which is based in Tokyo, wants to lay a belt of solar panels 350 kilometres wide around the equator of the Moon and relay the resulting constant supply of energy to “receiving stations” on Earth by laser or microwave transmission.
