It sounds like there is a lot of heat energy in the ground there, close to the surface and easily accessible. Why aren’t we deriving all the electric power we need from it? We probably couldn’t drain off enough to cool it down, but it couldn’t hurt, and we’d get all that low cost electricity.

Low cost is not automatic. Geothermal can be very costly. The tech required to harvest that energy is not cheap.
Nuclear energy is potentially much cheaper.
