Was it Asimov or Heinlein who wrote about the kinetic-energy problem of teleporting around the globe? I think one proposal that the enormous losses accrued in some directions could be somehow banked against the enormous gains in reverse trips (reverse in energy flow, not in location - a 12-hour visit would mean both trips had the same "polarity").
