For quite some time now I have followed this thread(s) wondering if
all the arguement is about whether or not a transmission line can
store energy or not. If this is in fact the question then the answer
is definitely YES.

The little program I wrote and referenced a little while ago, TLVis1,
shows graphically how much energy is at each point along a line at every
time from turn-on to steady state. And it even shows separately how much
is stored in the electric and magnetic fields.
