Here are some links I found related to this

My conclusion: Geothermal makes research into plate tectonics and earthquake mitigation considerably more valuable, so we can figure out how to do it in a way that reduces earthquakes rather than creating them.

I think thats actually disputed. I'm not entirely sure though and i dont have the time to look it up right now.
