Still not a natural energy source, fusion as envisioned requires D+T fusion, not extracted from hydrogen gas but from seawater and lithium irradiation. Hydrogen gas is not naturally occurring on Earth, so by definition it cannot be a "natural" energy source. It's an intermediate product.

You can fuse hydrogen, too. It's 'just' harder.

Not quite sure anything would count as 'natural' in that sense. Almost everything is processed in some way. I thought the problem was with 'energy source', not with 'natural'.
