I was thinking about the same question and came at it from the other side, which is "How big a plant and how far away do you have to situate it to destroy a city?" Which is to say, what would someone need to do to weaponize geothermal fracking? Urban warfare is siege warfare and being able to knock down the castle without having to expose yourself to enemy fire would seem to be an advantage. The fault lines would need to co-operate too of course.

Could be a very useful military tool for attacking particularly vulnerable places (if you can fortify a nearby position against enemy attack for long enough to build such a thing). Seems overly-situational without some extremely rapid assembly. Good for softish sci-fi, though!
