The energy stored in an atom's nucleus is nuclear energy. This energy is released through processes like nuclear fusion or fission, which involve manipulating the nucleus of an atom to release large amounts of energy.
No, energy stored in gasoline is an example of potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work. Gasoline must be burned to release the energy stored within it, converting it into kinetic energy.

Wind energy for the grid can not be stored. It must be used instantly or the power is wasted. Small D.C. systems are far more logical and workable. They can supply power to a battery which is later returned to the system.
Elastic potential energy (EPE) is stored in a stretched wire because when it is stretched it has the potential to bounce back with kinetic energy and because energy cannot be created or destroyed (conservation of energy) this energy must start from somewhere and that is EPE.
Extra energy is primarily stored in the form of glycogen in muscles and the liver, and also as adipose tissue (body fat) for long-term energy storage. When energy is needed, the body can break down these reserves to release stored energy in the form of ATP to fuel various metabolic processes.
You can bring small amounts of dried fish to the US. The fish must be for personal use and must be in very small quantities that are declared when you enter the country.
The body has no choice but to store the extra energy that is not used. This is usually stored as fat.
The main component of wood is cellulose made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. The combustion formula is (C6H10O5)n + n6O2 -> n6CO2 + n5H2O + energy ; where n is an positive integer. The energy produced in the equation is used mainly as thermal energy. The energy comes from the net change in bond energies. Since there is more bond energies in the reactants than the products, energy is released. The conservation of energy must maintain equal amounts of energy before and after a reaction.
