The first of which is the direct fusion of hydrogen.

And charge is conserved by positron emission and subsequent electron positron
annihilation, contrary to your claim of it being a problem. Mistakes are ok, I make
them all the time, but you just lie, by omission, and spin, and your superficial
understanding of physics, in order to avoid actually having to do any physics to
improve peoples lives. Also distinctly absent from any of your arguments are scholarly
references, citations and internet links to references, thus, you promulgate
scientific ignorance, disinformation and apathy.

The situation is analogous to electrolysis of water, the dissociation proceeds by
reaction steps, but the end result is the same, hydrogen and oxygen. To claim that
hydrogen does not undergo fusion is like claiming hydroxide does not dissociate and
recombine, or that hydronium is an aberration, protium is not a proper term, or that
energy and power are often used interchangeably in common speech. It is the simple
scientific dishonesty of an inflexible absolutist with little appreciation for the
specific details and broad richness of scientific methods and results.
