Instantaneous is an infinitesimally small amount of time.
Thus:
IJ/0s = infinite power

So energy is power x time.
If the time is zero, the energy is zero.
Energy requires the passage of time, thus it cannot be instantaneous

Not so, as that does not prove that energy cannot be instantaneous. Instantaneous wind gust is a common meteorological term and that gust contains energy. Therefore energy can be instantaneous, even if not fitting with common electrical energy equations. Energy can be released in under 1 second and greater than zero seconds ( being the passage of time ). Energy can thus be instantaneous. The topic of instantaneous energy is also an area of physics, Subsecond Thermophysics and in fact is a term used in Nuclear Physics, among other areas of science and technology. Thus instantaneous energy can and does exist. Therefore contrary to your point, energy can be instantaneous.
