It's not an "either/or" situation. Certainly fusion accounts for about half the solar energy, as the neutrino flux indicates. There is still plenty of helium ash in the sun.
Interesting. All elements derive from the solar furnace; so, if stars are spewing Hy, you might have found the missing matter. You could estimate the rate of Hy generation and, based on the known age of the universe, determine if sufficient Hy would predict a closed universe. But then again, some cosmologists think that the universe extends beyond the visible. Thus the age is much greater than we presently think. Terry
