Kinetic energy is energy of motion.

In the cases of a stretched rubber band, water in a reservoir, natural gas, or an object suspended above the ground, everything is just laying there, and nothing is moving. There's nothing there that has kinetic energy.

If there's any wind, then air is moving. The moving air has kinetic energy.
