What about when you fuse hydrogen into helium? That gives you energy. And fuel is just stored energy, so wouldn’t hydrogen be fuel? I guess deuterium would be high test and cost more too
From what I know the best we got right now is a magnetic tokamak that uses way more energy to contain the reaction then what the steam turbines get out of the thermal energy produced.

Fission on the other hand is productive but puts out a lot of radioactive waste.

Wait, I take that back. The sun is a productive fusion reaction with are solar collectors, windmills and plants.
