Energy:The difference between Potential and Kinetic

The difference between Kinetic energy and Potential energy is somewhat confusing. Kinetic energy is energy in motion. If a car is driving along a road, its producing kinetic energy. A car parked in the dive way has the potential to produce energy by moving, but its not. Thus, it has potential energy. Anything moving produces kinetic energy while anything not moving has the potential to produce energy. That's the difference between the two types of energy.
