I'm addressing your protest of the amount of energy required. It doesn't require that much energy. It doesn't require anywhere even close to that much energy. My point is only that something you stressed as incredible in your protest is not taking into account that any such "earthquake device" would take advantage of stored potential energy.
As to the other, as far as I understand, HAARP uses microwaves to cause a targeted heating in the ionosphere. I can't imagine how such action could possibly cause earthquakes. However, me not understanding how something works doesn't mean it doesn't work.
IMO, If there is a weapon that is able to cause directed earthquakes I doubt it is HAARP. I think that something that sets up a resonance within the earth is a more likely method. It wouldn't actually take that much energy to make that happen (no where near the energy released, at least potentially), and such a system could apply whatever energy was required over time, as a function of setting up that resonance, targeted at flaws in the earth. Alternatively, directed heating taking advantage of similar flaws could also potentially produce similar results. In either case, such hypothetical weapons would be some form of directed energy, taking advantage of flaws (fault lines) or other weak points in the earth's crust that already exist (they are all over the place), substantially reducing the energy input requirements.
Finally it is conceivable to create a directed energy weapon that heats up the subsurface sufficiently to create magma pockets deep underground, or even excite and/or expand magma pockets that already exist. This would cause the earth above it to move, shift, and/or fall. Again, a lot less energy is required to do this than the energy potentially released.
I am making these things up. I don't know if they exist, but I don't think it is impossible. Given the resources these people have, I don't even think it's that hard.
Sure, this is the theory, but, now describe how the weapon works. There's a huge unsupported jump, here.
