I couldn't agree more, but that's exactly the topic from which you tried
to divert attention in your posting. Here's what you said:

"I guess I still need to seek out some "real-world physicists" to
figure out that energy is indeed something to "worry about". I
never would have imagined such a thing!"

If you don't worry about energy, you have nothing to add to the discussion.
If you do worry about energy, please read my "WorldRadio" article which
tells you more than you (and others) ever wanted to know about energy in an
RF transmission line.
