Sure! Iceland for example has so much geothermal energy that they can clear their sidewalks from snow by heating them. Amazing, isn't it? (Searching for "iceland heated sidewalk" should bring up enough results if you are interested)

I'm thinking it may be a good idea to tap those thermal sources' energy to make ice to replenish melting glaciers.
