It was late, but I did not think I was dreaming. You do indeed use energy
and power interchangeably and randomly.

I see you are still confused. Waves flow. Power doesn't
flow. Energy flows. Does your Bird wattmeter move while
it's indicating power or does it stand still while
indicating joules of energy passing a fixed point in
one second?

none of them flow. electrons move, this is called CURRENT. a current
causes a voltage which is related to it by an impedance. that is all you
need to know. power flow, energy flow, birds flying, those are all
secondary effects calculated from the fundamental elements of current,
impedance, and voltage. nothing else is necessary, everything else is
confusing since important details get lost when most people do calculations
of power or energy. stick with the basics and it will all become clear!
