There has been an issue about the relationship of geothermal energy harnessing and earthquakes. There are roaming news that geothermal locations where geothermal plants are built are having “minor earth seizures”. But like what I said, it’s roaming news, so I really don’t know if it’s true.
i think there is no any related results about your question so if u want to know better results u must to see this …

A Good installation can cost $ 10,000,$ 20,000. It varies by location.This investment is one disadvantage. It causes many people to wait or seriously look at solar,wind power.Number two If something goes wrong a lot of digging must be done.Number 3 if a new technology about geo comes along it is hard to change what you have
there are only limited areas around the world where it is possible to harvest the power of geothermal energy, therefore it is not economical in that sense
The only disadvantage I know of is that not all cities will allow you to use it because you have to go a certain depth underground, etc. try checking out http://www.geothermalcontractor.net there’s some good information on there.
