If I understand what you're saying, you don't understand very far.

First, power is listed in the specifications of practically every RF transmitting communication device in existence -- often in milliwatts, and sometimes up to kilowatts and higher. Second, it's not electricity which travels from transmitter to receiver, it's electromagnetic radiation. You don't need particularly high voltage to generate radio waves.
