Beam Me Up, Scotty!

Teleportation may be the answer to solving environmental and transportation problems and an end to the energy crisis. No more planes. No more cars. A teleportation station in every garage. You wouldn't even need to leave the house unless it was a Beautiful Day. As it has been pointed out to me, teleportation is the transfer of matter, and matter is energy, therefore the energy use of teleporters might be nominal (see Mr. Fusion). If this technology isn't too far off and it is found to be reliable and cheap, what type of impact would this create?

It has also been said that a great idea and a bad idea are indistinguishable to the ignorant. So, what bit of logic might be missing? Please feel free to leave a comment below. I love to hear how wonderful and smart I am.
