CFS selected a site for ARC in Chesterfield County, Virginia, near Richmond. Timeline is the early 2030ies. That's it.

"The physical site is big enough, flat enough and near good transportation. It has a connection to the grid after a coal power plant retired." I think that last part is important. It would be even nicer if they could reuse the turbines and generators, and simply supply the heat with fusion instead of burning coal, but I suppose that would be hard to arrange. Unless you could identify a large number of very similar coal plants due to be shut down...
