Steve,

Reactive power is a good thing.  It can be easily converted to real 
power.  Think of charging a capatitor reatively then shorting it releasing 
real power in the form of an arc or spark.  It constantly happens in all 
our TCs.  Same thing applies for inductive power discharge.  These 
translations from real to reative to real power happen al the time all 
around us.
