If no energy passes through that gap then radio does not work, wi-fi does not work, cellphones do not work, wireless charging does not work, television does not work. All of those require energy to cross the gap.

There is absolutely no energy that is not accounted for. You seems to be the ones that try to ignore stored energy.

When you charge a capacitor from a source the energy provided by the source will be equal with stored energy and energy loss on the wire.
When you discharge that stored energy you get the same loss again with current flow in the opposite direction.

You will have a problem adding some extra energy that crosses the gap as there is nothing more than stored and lost on the wire coming from the source.

All of these comments apply to charge, not energy.

If you talk about electrical charge, then everything is fine.

I already answered this question a few minutes ago. They work you do not understand how.

You don't quite understand what energy is and in this particular case electrical energy.
a) Is electrical energy the integral over time of electrical power ?
b) Is electrical power the product of electrical potential and electrical current?
c) Is electrical current defined as a flow of electrical charged particles? In this particular cases we are discussing flow of electrons.

Let me know if you answer as No on any of the 3 questions above.
SandyCox:
What about series compensation of power lines? Isn't that energy being transferred through capacitors?

How do you start a single-phase induction motor without a capacitor? Another example of energy being transferred through a capacitor.
