Why is geothermal energy unlikely to become a major energy source?

Geothermal heat (from under the earth) is more easily available on the faults between tectonic plates. This is why the Pacific Ring of Fire is a suitable area (California, Japan etc). In other places you have to drill down much further, often several kilometres, to reach hot rocks, and there are easier ways of obtaining renewable energy.
