I'll just quote you on that one:

Where does this energy go?
We do not know and we do not care.

Finally, you have got the correct answer.

Having accepted that ideal voltage sources can remove energy
from a circuit, you can now re-evaluate your explanations.

No, I can quit wasting my time thinking about it
because "we do not care". We not caring takes away
any reason or purpose for continuing the discussion.

With an ideal voltage source being capable of removing
energy, it should no longer be necessary for you to
propose strange notions of energy flowing through an
ideal voltage source and bouncing off the ground.

The discussion is moot unless you can prove that an
ideal source in a single-source system can absorb
AVERAGE power. So there's your challenge. If you
cannot do that, my article about average power
stands as written.
