Advantages
1)High energy yield.  Lots of energy released just from burning the stuff
2)Low cost energy plants.  Basically need to set it on fire and use steam to turn a turbine.
Disadvantages
1)Only a limited amount of the stuff.  We're running out in our lifetime probably.
2)Difficult to find and refine.  They build massive off shore rigs just to get oil
