That's being done with various forms of geothermal energy generation, but the existing equipment mostly requires fairly high temperatures, which aren't widely available. Also, drilling costs can be pretty high, as the wells often must be drilled very deep.

There are some low temperature systems under development, by UTC/Carrier and others.
