even geothermal is not all that effective. As heat is extracted from the hot rocks, they cool and new heat can only be conducted in to warm the area up at a certain limited rate.

No, I’m talking about geothermal steam from volcanism, not a heat pump.
If, however, the payback is there the HP makes sense also.
