One might argue that HAARP already does this...
Proposed uses included widening the Panama Canal, constructing a new sea-level waterway through Nicaragua nicknamed the Pan-Atomic Canal, cutting paths through mountainous areas for highways, and for connecting inland river systems. Other proposals involved blasting underground caverns for water, natural gas, and petroleum storage. Serious consideration was also given to using these explosives for various mining operations. One proposal suggested using nuclear blasts to connect underground aquifers in Arizona. Another plan involved surface blasting on the western slope of California's Sacramento Valley for a water transport project. Project Carryall[2] , proposed in 1963 by the Atomic Energy Commission, the California Division of Highways (now Caltrans), and the Santa Fe Railway, would have used 22 nuclear explosions to excavate a massive roadcut through the Bristol Mountains in the Mojave Desert, to accommodate construction of Interstate 40 and a new rail line. At the end of the program, a major objective was to develop nuclear explosives, and blast techniques, for stimulating the flow of natural gas in "tight" underground reservoir formations. In the 1960s, a proposal was suggested for a modified in situ shale oil extraction process which involved creation of a rubble chimney (a zone in the oil shale formation created by breaking the rock into fragments) using a nuclear explosive.[1] However, this approach was abandoned for a number of technical reasons. Nuclear explosives have never been used for commercial engineering purposes in the United States, but the concept has been tested.

Is it possible to create an earthquake? A weapon that could mimic a natural disaster could be useful in times of war. The use of a tectonic weapon could disrupt logistics, communications and provisions of large town or city area known to be hostile. If controlled to a minimum Richter, this device could flush the rats out of the hole.

when I was kid i found one can tune a guitar by eye
when you hit a string
any other string thats in tune
will vibrate sympathetically
without being touched.
you can watch the vibrations interact...action at a distance
a special pickup causes this to happen electronically
this is electromagnetic on nickle iron in air
I think HAARP can work exactly the same way
