Radiant energy is energy 'in motion', 'in transit', much like 'heat' and 'work'.

The energy that comes from the sun, does it as radiant energy. That energy can be

stored as energy, but is 'radiant energy' no more. Solar water heaters capture the

'thermal radiation' coming from the sun and store it as thermal energy in water. The

water molecules increase their translation, vibration and rotation energies which are

components of what's referred as 'thermal energy ' of a body. The hotter the water

gets (higher temperature), the more thermal energy it holds.

The source of geothermal energy is the decay of radioactive isotopes in the core of the planet. During the formation of the earth most of the heavy radioactive material sank to the core of the planet along with the iron and nickel. It is the decay of these radioactive elements that keeps earth's core molten.

Before the energy is converted into electricity it is stored in lava, then when its electricity it is stored in the national grid.
