But that’s often not true. You can either just not do geothermal in areas that aren’t prone to natural earthquakes, force every homeowner to make their home earthquake-proof (which is extremely expensive, probably a lot more than just building batteries for solar+wind) or suck it up when they get damaged, or the owners of the geothermal plant have to pay for any damages (unlikey).
my house has been through 1 major and countless minor earthquakes and the only crack is in cement we poured ourselves out in the yard. i’m really confused by your assumptions.

Assume it’s an area with frequent earthquakes
