There is geo thermal for household heat. Simple but long term payback
Then there is commercial geothermal that creates steam to run turbines to generate electricity. Two different animals
But, as I tried to point out earlier, limited to places that are "hot spots" unless you plan to dig very very deep wells. As a professional hydrogeologist along the arc of my career, I can assure you that that presents some significant challenges. Which is one of the things that led me to the next part of my career. Now I think I'd like to return to the main focus of this forum, rather than get sidetracked into something that definitely does need discussion, but probably not here.
