I could be remembering incorrectly but wasn't geothermal shown to cause earthquakes in some areas? Then again, it could have just been some big oil propaganda from back in the day.

Fracking definitely does. I'm not sure about geothermal. I believe geothermal plants are usually installed in places that already have relatively high levels of geothermal activity (ie Iceland) so it's not too much of a change.

I could be wrong on all that as I am not an expert so you may want to do some mote reading.

Look up the FORGE project. Its basically a non issue, especially compared to O&G
