Advantages:
- Easy to produce (heating water to produce steam which turns a turbine)
- There are more economically friendly ways to produce it i.e. wind farms/hydro electric dams and so on.
Disadvantages:
- Depending on what method used to produce electricity can be bad for the environment i.e. using fossil fuels like coal/oil to heat the water to produce the steam.
- Doesn't mix with water very well (sometimes proves fatal)
These are just a few of advatages/disadvatages. - Hope this helps!
