Fission vs Fusion: Which is More Economically Feasible?

[Precursor]

Which nuclear process is more economically feasible--fusion or fission? I think it's fusion because it produces more energy than it takes, as compared to fission. Am I right?

Right now the only economically feasible one (for power generation) is fission - we are still inventing a fusion reactor that gives more power than it consumes.
Long term - fusion has some advantages (unlimited globally available fuel, less waste).

Of course if you just want a lot of energy delivered - fusion in the form of an H Bomb is economically feasible in terms of power out for energy in!
