Do you mean reducing gas usage? All people I've talked to want emissions reduced to benefit the environment, not reduce the influence of Russia / China.
(I'm not going to be using the correct terminology) There's multiple types of heat pumps that operate by transferring the heat via the ground, air or water source. These are air and (closed) ground types
Whereas this is an (open) ground type
The environmental effect of closed types is during manufacturing and what the electricity is sourced from (solar, coal etc).
For fracking what happens is water is injected into the ground in an attempt to extract gas (very simplified explanation), the resulting water and gas can then make its way into local water sources which will effect the local population. An open heat pump system works by taking the water from ground water tables, using the water for heating / cooling and putting that water back into the ground, and due to the large size of these water sources, the average temperature doesn't really change (lighting a fire outside doesn't increase the temperature for your neighbour).
This is starting to sound like trolling. At this point if you still have a bug up your ass about Geothermal/Heat Pump power generation I'm asking you to cite sources for your claims and avoid the nonsense tu quoques.
You are asking it in the wrong place. Consult an environmentalist community, or at least provide citation to a report that shows your 'concerns' have some foundation otherwise you're making a false equivalency to frakking with nothing but your ignorance to back it up.
