But energy does flow and move and is something that can be reflected.
You can easily see the energy packets using a TDR. Without energy,
those pulses wouldn't exist. The energy is obviously in the pulse,
where the voltage and current are.

And joules of energy flowing past a point is joules/sec, i.e. power,
by IEEE definition.

Incidentally, how do you explain the Poynting Vector and the Power
Flow Vector?

The argument that fields "have" or "contain" energy is misdirected and
misapplied.


A lot of people will be surprised to discover that their electromagnetic
ExH and ExB values are "misdirected and misapplied".
