Can you use sea water in geothermal plant?

Geothermal energy is often though of as having geological structure involved. But water-source heat pumps are also regarded as geothermal for the purpose of classification. Sea water can certainly be used for these. It is possible you are referring to the circulating water for the plant, and in this case sea water might be possible, but probably would not be very practical.
