Geothermal

Ever wonder what giant taps into the earth's volcanic geothermal sources do to the earth's crust?
I wonder if Iceland, a country that gets a lot of its energy from geothermal sources, has experienced a measurable change of some sort in its annual average temperature, its elevation, or the mood of its inhabitants? Japan, who is considering going full bore, like Iceland, with its use of geothermal, also has a cultural issue to deal with in that its onsens, or hot springs, are so revered that you can't even go in one with a tatoo and without first cleaning yourself up.
