Not today, but maybe someday.

(1) - The geothermal heat flow from the Earth's interior is estimated to be 47 terawatts

(2) - Human production of energy is even lower at an estimated 160,000 TW-hr for all of year 2019. This corresponds to an average continuous heat flow of about 18 TW

Wow 47 TW of heat for the entire earth is so much lower then I ever would have guessed.

The wiki says that its about .08W/m^2. That means it an area of 2-3 football fields only puts out as much heat as a single space heater.

No, because the heat comes out regardless. The difference is whether it is used on the way out.

Likewise for solar and wind.

There's the heat that comes out regardless, and the additional heat that comes out if you drill a bunch of boreholes down to let it out, accelerating the transfer.

That being said, it doesn't look like we'll get to a significant magnitude of effect for a long time.
