Wonder how much energy is used pumping water up a mile versus heating surface water about 100 degrees.

Geothermal using a 2 stage compressor is a whole lot more efficient (in excess of 500% in some cases) and cheaper (doesn't require a 6000'+ hole), too.

I’ve a question. Would large scale removal of heat from in the earth have any detrimental affects on inner workings of earth???

I worked on a geothermal well or two.

Bump a hole a mile deep and get water @55F.

Geothermal does not heat the building, it offers a buffer.

I do not see their temperature expectations manifesting without a nearby caldera.

Al Gore(Alta Rock Energy Inc.) did this in Switzerland and got sued for the earthquakes it caused.

Then they tried it in N. California and encountered a geologic anomaly(oil&gas).

California quickly denied the permit for the deep fracture procedure after they learned of the Swiss lawsuit.

Remember, the dwarves delved too greedily and too deep.
