The energy of light is actually considered to be all kinetic.

For every positive charge that is pushed by an emitter an
equivalent negative charge is pulled.

I get nothing but angular momentum from that.

If you read Newton's next law of motion, would you recken all
accelerations impossibil as all vectors need cancel, without the m in
F=ma? Equant (misnomer as "equal") is not equivalent. Plug in north
and south poles for your charges; both properties split asýmmetricly.

Recall "angular momentum" is expressible as
ACTION, and energy is the Rate of Action.
You (Sue) might be right, but I thought there
was a "momentum recoil". I've read photon
thrusters max the Isp.

There is a Mossbauer recoil but it is very dependent
on the atomic structure (crystal?) near the emission
site.

Photon Thrusters?
I just hung a drop lamp 10 meters below a tree limb.
No deflection when I plugged it to a power point.

You need a fine bilanx with a mirror target and a laser readout many
metres long. Its deflection is due tom the Earth and its stuff rather
than the lamp's radiation, however.

Light doesn't get its energy from its speed. It is at gravity Gamma.
