I don't think there is any need to "dramatize" anything if the Elevator fails.
The loss of ALL ENERGY ON EARTH would immediately cause a Mad Max scenario. The only nations who would not be affected by it would be, ironically, in the Middle East, as they haven't got any energy supply from the Elevator to begin with.
It would not take more than a week for the rioting to start, a month for the crime spree, and 2 months for the mass starvation.
Compare to that, a colony-drop is nothing.
