The time has finally come for geothermal energy
This is being done and it's called synthetic inertia. Just with capacitors and batteries instead of spinning motors.

To my knowledge Siemens is currently making a lot of money by adding spinning inertia to the grid because that is easier than getting the response time/power out of electronics.

I am not in that field, just a curious citizen, but Siemens seems to offer synthetic inertia gear too:
