The major reason people even bothered was because they dislike the change, not to mention the fact that it would transfer the position of power to someone else (Union or UN, in the case in Gundam 00).
Unless some big corporation or countries are willing to push for the change, nothing would ever happen. In the world of Gundam 00, seems like UN (maybe Union and HRL) is forcing the issue, instead of using the "market" to decide.

After the massive investments needed for the elevators, I don't think they were in any danger of going "Oh, we prefer fossil fuel after all".
