1. There is absolutely no violation of the conservation of energy. The only difference is the consideration of work done which is usually ignored.sophiecentaur said:The problem with this is that the Power in the wave depends on the impedance as well as the E field. P0 is only P/2 when the sources are far enough apart to ignore interactions. This expression:

doesn't include the impedances involved - there's more to it than just the spacing. Both E and H fields count and also the source impedance, self Impedances of the antennae and also the mutual impedance. So that expression 'just' a system that may produce the right answers under some circumstances.
I'd be very suspicious of any work that suggests non-conservation of Energy. In the case of radiating systems, calculations are always of limited accuracy and they always require numerical solutions so I'd suggest that there will be a flaw that remains to be found.
2. The expression doesn't contain the terms of wave impedances, but the impedance is already taken care of in the equation.
For example, a source will experience the highest impedance when it experiences a wave of the same amplitude, frequency and phase, which also means when the 2 sources are put at the same point. Now the power radiated in this case is 4P_0 by both sources, so this already includes the additional power dissipation by the source to overcome the resistance. You can see the same with destructive interference and other interferences in between.
3. This formula hasn't considered parameters like heating effects or others.
