The charge carriers are the free electrons traveling relatively slowly
in the surface area of the wire. The RF photons are the wave-particles
emitted by accelerated electrons and travel at the speed of light.
A cloud of photons make up the RF EM fields surrounding the wire(s).

Consider the energy in an ocean wave Vs the water molecule carriers.
