Nuclear fission is when a neutron is fired at an element with a high atomic number, which splits and releases more neutrons and energy as a result. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars and experimental reactors.
Nuclear energy is produced from atomic reactions in nuclear power plants, which do not involve the use of oil. Oil is used to produce energy through combustion in power plants or vehicles, but it is not classified as a form of nuclear energy.
Energy is produced in the nucleus through nuclear reactions such as fission (splitting of an atomic nucleus) or fusion (combining of atomic nuclei). In these reactions, a small amount of mass is converted into a large amount of energy, as predicted by Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2.

Most energy is produced by the breaking and reforming of molecular bonds. A car's combustion reaction in which fuel is converted into energy, co2 and water is a good example of this. Energy is rarely produced on the atomic level, such as a nuclear power plant or an atom bomb. Energy is produced this way through Einstein's E=mc^2. In an atomic reaction the mass of the products is slightly less then the mass of the reactants. Plug the change in mass into Einstein's equation and you get a lot of energy. To recap, most energy is made on the molecular level with endothermic (reactions which absorb energy) and exothermic reactions (reactions which emit energy), however a small amount takes place on the atomic level.

Energy
Nuclear energy is produced through fusion reactions. Fusion is the process in which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
Nuclear energy is not produced by chemical reactions
Carbon dioxide and water are produced during all combustion reactions.
