Have just been whatching a TV show about some scientists doing research about 
it here in Aus.
Seems you have to have the right type of rocks under your site and the strata 
has to run in
the right direction so when you pump in your water you can scavenge it after 
it has been heated.
Seem many places where they have tried it the cost in lost water out weights 
the thermal energy they can recoup.
Pity seems like a good idea!
