Around 10 years ago there was quite a lot of fuzz about geothermal heating for newly built houses in southern Germany. That slowed down after some towns experienced movement below the settlement because formerly water-proof sediments had been breached. Ground water was able to move in places it could not move before and that lead to movement of the ground below the settlement. And most houses are not build to move around.
