Is this safe? On a global level do we understand enough about how our planet works underground to say what will happen? It sounds like a good idea, but only if it won't be trading one problem for another.

I am in agreement with you. Its a catch 22, where new technologies are implemented, that later cause problems. However, we would not know about the problems of said tech until large scale implementation. Regardless, i like the idea of cleaner methods to store excess renewable energy. I just worry because gas and oil companies are not exactly model industries for environmental issues

Yes. Look up the FORGE project. EGS systems are coming online with orders of magnitude less induced seismicity than conventional fracking operations
