Actually, all you've got to do to understand this is to realize that
energy is the time integral of power. (Remember that "useless" quantity
of power as a time function?) When you integrate power to get energy,
you get a constant. That constant is the energy present when power = 0,
and it has to be evaluated by knowing something other than just the
power. In a transmission line, that energy is stored in the electric
and/or magnetic fields during the times energy isn't moving (i.e., when
p(t) = 0). Really, math is cool.

There can and does exist component energy when the NET power is zero.
You will understand this when you understand complete destructive
interference in light waves represented by the equation
