Magnetic Monopoles: Violating Conservation of Energy?

[tionis]

Why some say that the existence of magnetic monopoles would violate the conservation of energy law?

 

[tionis]

What I'm trying to do here is gather as much facts about monopoles as possible in laymans terms. So if you have any, post it here.

Fact#1

Monopoles are round (like a sphere) with either a north or a south pole.

Fact#2

The charges of the monopole are in fact photons moving or in of the sphere into infinity. Whereas in a dipole, the photons would be circulating from north to south in a loop.

Neither of those "facts" are so, I am afraid.
