I must say, your ability to argue from a position of ignorance is truly remarkable .... just like your attempt to use simplifications to justify your reasoning.
almarg, and others have tried repeatedly explain the concept to you, but here let me put it to you in the easiest way possible. I will leave out the basics of Poynting VECTOR since many others have raised this with you already (quick search shows that). Energy is a scaler in the same way that velocity is also a scaler whose SI unit is m/s = meters / second. Now lets do an example. Geoff leaves his house at 9am and travels, for 1 hour at 30 meters/second. Where is Geoff? You don't know do you. He could be anywhere within a radius of 108,000 meters of his starting point. If you want to use this "scaler" argument for energy, then you have to accept you can't say that energy always travels from the source to the load because that would require direction .. and energy has no direction.
But then again, the Poynting vector units are watts/m^2. That is not even an energy term, that is a power term ... which defines along with a direction vector where the energy is going and the rate of energy transfer.
