That said, a lot of $$$ can be saved by using geothermal naturally super-preheated hot water to make steam to drive turbines too.
Thanks for comment. Is this type of energy used domestically and is it successful and cheaper than usual energy types?
I was once in Reykjavik during the Winter months & it was Beautiful!
Not a Wisp of smoke/steam or anything else from Any building.
On the Downside - as Fargo motes - it's accompanied by Volcanic activity.
I was there shortly after a volcanic eruption & took a bus to Keflavik -
It was UnBelieveably Bleak -
A dark grey utterly barren Moonscape of volcanic ash.
BTW -
Iceland is (or at least Was) the World's Best Kept Secret Winter Getaway!
The Gulf Stream keeps it Very Moderate -
Mid-Winter was like October in like, say ... Minnesota -
Pleasantly cool light jacket temps -
Ponds were ice free & folks were feeding the duck's.

Room rates & dining were Insanely Reasonable.
I had a VERY MEMORABLE stay in the best hotel in Reykjavik -
And breakfasted on Steak, Eggs, Capers & Beer in the dining room -

Drilling 300 feet down and installing the proper piping would most likely cost a small fortune. However, it still may be worth it...especially if you can heat more than one residence at once with the operation.
The initial drilling etc would be costly, but fortunately the oil and gas companies have the equipment and expertise to tackle it. They just need motivating by government, which means money for them. But if we are desperate for energy, can we afford not to use it?
I wonder what would happen if the majority of the whole planet used this technology, would it eventually lead to a change in the earth's temperature? After all, we would be robbing heat from it.
Instead of wearing COVID masks, people can look forward to wearing woolly hats, scarves, fur coats, gloves, boots and sit in front of a candle. All courtesy of governments lack of energy planning and complacency.
Why Start Now?? ...

Should it Weaken Sufficiently or Disappear -
