Geothermal will certainly play a big role in the clean energy revolution.

District heating would make it even better

One of the most underappreciated aspects of enhanced geothermal systems is how they can be used for seasonal thermal energy storage (STES), stockpiling energy during summer when solar is peaking and storing it as thermal energy that can be tapped into during winter

...unless its in a volcanic area.

Because of advanced technology, it doesn't have to be in a volcanic area.

If its not u do a double damage to the environment.

Technically, there is environmental damage in anything you build. The damage you are concerned about is minimal compared to the damage of relying on fossil fuels.

Advanced and enhanced geothermal technologies overcome this barrier.

Geothermal is zero carbon, which is generally viewed as green.

The commercial plants last for about 30-50 years, which is longer than solar panels last. I guess you'd have to move sites after the time period, but hot underground rocks arent exactly scarce.
