Yes, but, wait—the laws of conservation of energy state that the energy needed to destroy a tower was first spent in its construction.

frankly, no one yet can satisfy what I'm saying about the energy budget, here.

These are at odds. The energy required is implicit in your first statement. The energy of the earthquake is already there in the construction of the planet. This energy is further added to from the sun which heats it up and keeps that battery we call "the core" spinning. The system has as close enough to an infinite energy store as makes no nevermind (at least on the scales we are talking about).
