Nuclear fusion is not a viable source of energy at this point. The technical difficulties in maintaining confinement are enormous and have not yet been overcome. There are projects ongoing to attempt to resolve the issues, but we are at least 10 to 20 years away from anything, and more probably 50 to 100 years away from commercial use of nuclear fusion.
