The downside is increased short term cost. If you take a free market approach to everything then increased cost decreases profit and is hence BAD and nothing else matters.

Some like to call this political - I call it common sense. What is the downside.....inevitable change?
It's not justifying to point out the benefits and all the problems that fossil fuels have eliminated. They have also made the planet cleaner. For example:

"In New York in 1900, the population of 100,000 horses produced 2.5 million pounds of horse manure per day, which all had to be swept up and disposed of."
