Default what happens to reflected energy ?

Quoting "Fields and Waves ...", by Ramo and Whinnery: "A perfect
conductor is usually understood to be a material in which there is no
electric field at any frequency. Maxwell's equations ensure that there
is then also no time-varying magnetic field in the perfect conductor."
How does one go from zero current to a non-zero current if the
magnetic field is prohibited from varying (changing) with time?
