From what I know about Geothermal energy, very little, is that they would have more problems with the shifting ground, the very cause of the current problems.
"After 35 years, 16 geothermal power plants in the 14 geothermal power station sites (excluding small power generation facilities for household use) are currently operating in Japan."
According to a quick Googleing, it looks as though Japan is already using Geothermal power generation (since 1966), but I think if it were viable they would be using it more. From what a quick scan gave me, I think money and sutable sites may also have something to do with it.
You can have a look
