Ah! You do. I trust that you also accept that the light is transverse and that the electric field causes the electron to oscillate up and down. Since this is accepted Physics I trust that you do.
Now, if you remember, I nailed the other two electrons down for simplicity. When your T/V aerial picks up radio signals the electrons move up and down either individually or in 'bulk' depending upon your view point. Where is momentum conserved here? Same thing.

So you should be able to easily show a quantitative analysis, demonstrating that both momentum and energy conserved at the same time. Yet you've failed to do so.
