The Sun's primary energy source is the p-p chain whereby helium is
fused from hydrogen in the core of our sun. Density, pressure and
temperature profiles, solar neutrino (antineutrino) energies and
total radiated energy confirm the standard solar model.

Thanks for the links. I can't wait until a fusion reaction is set up
that gives off more power than it costs. Let me know when they
replicate a fusion reaction that produces radiation that corresponds
with the sun's spetrum. That'd be a cool trick.

You think that our present inability to produce sustainable nuclear
fusion on Earth (largely a problem of containment) somehow casts doubt
on fusion as the mechanism which fuels the stars?

Just to make things absolutely clear: you believe that the Sun will
shine forever because it is shining out of God's arse? Did I get that
right?
