And the sodium potassium pump and sodium and action potentials, even if you don't know anything about that is ATP dependent. It requires energy.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
