Here's a physical analogy. We light a butane lighter at one
point and observe the flame. We close the lighter and move
to another point 100 yards away. We light the lighter again
and observe the flame. Did me move the flame by 100 yards?
Or did we convert energy into power at one point, then
move the energy source to another point and convert the
energy into power?

If you move watts of power then you should be able to
measure that movement in watts/sec or joules/sec/sec.
Have you ever measured such?
