Very interesting! I just read about a Finnish geothermal project in which they are drilling two 7km (4.35 miles) deep holes to test feasibility of geothermal energy in areas which do not have naturally occurring geothermal sources close to ground level. It is a serious attempt to produce geothermal energy, and made possible by recent advantages in drilling techniques. They have now reached a depth of roughly 3.5 km.
There's not that much about the project in English, though. Here is a short video interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n853GBQocC4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n853GBQocC4 and a short article http://www.thinkgeoenergy.com/finnish-40-mw-district-heating-project-to-be-operational-in-2017/ http://www.thinkgeoenergy.com/finnish-40-mw-district-heating...
