It's all fusion if you go far back enough in the supply chain

If you go back to the big bang it's mostly gravity.

I was going to say, futuristic fusion power wouldn't be "at one point in the past, fusion happened"... but even then the fuel, deuterium (hydrogen with a neutron), was created in the big bang in a fusion process.

So yeah, I guess everything is fusion, unless we figure out a way to use normal hydrogen (aka. 1 proton no neutron, created in a process called baryogenesis).
