More precisely, it _has_ energy: it transports energy from one body to 
another.  The energy of a photon, the quantum of light/EM radiation/the EM 
field, is precisely E = ℎ f, with ℎ the Planck constant and f the frequency 
of the radiation.  This is known since more than a hundred years now 
(Planck, 1900; Einstein, 1905).

From where do you get your energy to live?
How can you see (light)?
What is a solar cell?
What is a cathode-ray tube?
What is a laser?
What is a solar sail?

First read, then think, then post.

That much is obvious.
