Anti-geothermal position: https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2019/05/lessons-south-korea-solving-geothermals-earthquake-problem https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2019/05/lessons-south-kore... My conclusion: Geothermal makes research into plate tectonics and earthquake mitigation considerably more valuable, so we can figure out how to do it in a way that reduces earthquakes rather than creating them.
