if the waves have the ability to generate it, how can their be no volts
or amps in the wave? what force has it how did it get seperated from
the 'volts'

I think maybe what Richard is trying to say is that the wave
actually consists of an E-field and an H-field. The E-field
results in volts and the H-field results in amps. The charged
particles responsible for the voltage and current cannot move
at the speed of light.

Probably a more modern way of saying the same thing is that
RF waves are photonic energy, moving at the speed of light.
The photons are the fields and the fields are the photons.
Electrons cannot move at the speed of light. Photons generated
by excited electrons are what move at the speed of light.
