Occam's razor. Getting off fossil fuels is expensive. Alternatives cost more. Many governments have invested heavily into green energy, and face resistance from the public about the best high energy costs - come to Ontario where the highly visible wind generators have become a scapegoat for the fact that we went from having the cheapest power in Canada/USA to the most expensive (they're a small part of the reason, but they make a good scapegoat). The government recently floated the idea of moving new houses to electrical heating and was pilloried for it.
The public wants to go green, but only if nobody has to be inconvenienced with it.
