Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewable so not really, no. Having a good combination of starting materials to minimise the amount of energy you need to fuse everything together, or even starting out with something heavier, would be the way to go.

For more details ask a nuclear physicist of which I'm not one. Honestly there doesn't seem to be much work on it.
