So techniques developed to deep drill for oil can be repurposed to drill for geothermal energy? That's a tiny silver lining. I imagine, as we run out of oil, the drilling companies will start lobbying really aggressively for geothermal in order to keep in business.
And at least geothermal counters all the complaining about "solar panels don't work at night" and so on. The Earth's internal temperature doesn't change much 😆
