I think the chances of a geo thermal power plant causing a volcano are much lower than the probability of a nuclear power plant going boom.
Geo thermal is about turning the earth's waste energy into usable energy for us humans. It's sticking fans in the rising hot air.
We may not know the long term effects, but that goes for nuclear too. Based on what we
think we know, it's hard to argue that nuclear is safer.
It is not a solution. It's sticking our hands in the sand, literally, and hoping the problem will go away...
