Default Standing-Wave Current vs Traveling-Wave Current

Yes, it is impossible to get any watts out of a voltage
and current that are 90 degrees apart simply because
there are zero watts available.

Standing wave voltage and current are 90 degrees apart,
by definition.

Therefore, by definition, any wave that yields watts
is NOT a standing wave.

You mean that when having quarter wave resonant antenna, with standing wave
(current node at the tip, voltage node at the base) that is your 90 degrees
apart?
