I'm curious what environmental consequences you're concerned about? It's not as though this heat is trapped and we're magically releasing it; the alternative is for it to radiate away into space.

I'm worried that various biological processes in soil may be depending on the constant flux of heat from underground, and if we disrupt it, we may end up accidentally degrading or even sterilizing soil over large areas.
