Dear steemians, dear interested readers. Dear friends.

With pride I present to you my all in one guide on harnessing the energy source of the Stars: Thermonuclear fusion. In this format I present today, which will be reminiscent of a textbook, I intend to take take you through the entire subject of making fusion a reality on Earth in a series of posts, each post roughly excompassing a single subject of the various problems found in the field.

This post will serve as a Table of content to which I can refer when writting posts that fall under the umbrella of this guide.

Some of the entries in the table of concent will already be put in but still be grayed out. This just means it is a topic I will discuss in the next few weeks. Other lines already have links associated with them, and by clicking on it you will be taken to the relevant post.

More is of course still to come, but we must be sure we cover the basics first.

I will also use this post to update you on any announcements regarding this series.

This entire "textbook" will be done in a format of questions and answers, therefore it will be primarily posted on https://www.stemq.io/. You can read more about the platform by visiting their web page or by following @StemQ.
