Outline of proposed changes

The goal for this project is for us to add more information regarding increasing the Q Value through discussion of technologies and methods to increase the efficiency in the process and distribution of Fusion energy. We will do this by reviewing and compiling multiple sources of past Q increases in the fusion process and how and why these caused increases. We will also create a more in-depth definition of the break-even point. Additionally, we will add a section discussing the real world implementation of fusion energy of Q increasing policies and practices both in the North Carolina area/grid and the world.
