It may be that fossil fuels are used in 0080, but 0080 marked a turning
point in the Gundam saga, specifically a turning away from the previous
Tomino (and, bu extension, O'Neill) precepts to a new, updated "retcon"
foundation.
Beginning with 0080, we get:
o UNT Spacy
o Nazified Zeon
o Real-world sidearms and small arms
o Currency and coinage (Tomino and O'Neill both envisioned a credit economy)
o Retconned MS and spaceships
o Retconned uniforms (Chris' beret and pilot's jacket, etc.)
o De-emphasis of the Newtype
o A new Gundam in every new One Year War story
So, yes, there may be fossil fuels in use in 0080, but they weren't there
in Gundam, Z, ZZ, and CCA....
