Sure,
The sun does it all the time.
A Hydrogen bomb gets a large portion of its energy from nuclear fusion.
Nuclear fusion requires incredibly high temperatures and pressures, not to mention, the proper (easily fused) elements.
Hear on Earth, we have yet to create a safe, reliable way to harness nuclear fusion to generate electric power on the same scale we harness nuclear fission.

Why not?
In nature nuclear fusion powers the stars just like our Sun.
In general nuclear fusion is the process by which multiple nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy depending on the masses of the nuclei involved. Iron and nickel nuclei have the largest binding energies per nucleon of all nuclei and therefore are the most stable. The fusion of two nuclei lighter than iron or nickel generally releases energy while the fusion of nuclei heavier than them absorbs energy; vice-versa for the reverse process, nuclear fission.
Check ot he Tokamak reactor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokamak

Possibly, using a Tokamak reactor. These reactors confine plasma, the fifth state of matter using strong electromagnetic fields. This allows the temperatures in the reactor to become high enough to (maybe) initiate fusion processes. Heating is produced by a range of processes. The aim of such a reactor is to get more energy out than you put in.

Definitely. In our world, we usually produce fusion since it's the process of building up bigger energy forces. However, we cannot contain nuclear fusion energy.

Nuclear fusion has been accomplished by the EBASCO fusion reactor .However the problen of energy production out of this particular system is Efficiency.If the fussion reactor was at least 30% efficient than it would be feasible.

yess ,infact it is already being done in reactors using suspended plasma technology inside a reactor cald tokamak and also by using lasers.
well the entire thing is to produce enough energy to overcome the energy barier.energy is generated by using fission reaction which gives it the energy to proced.
this my friend is actually the core working of the deadly hydrogen bomb

Oh, sure, but containing it is the rub. The tokamak is the closest that scientists have gotten to containment is the Tokamak, a giant doughnut-shaped reactor that uses magnetic fields to contain the plasma.
