The main adavantage of fossil fuels is that they are cheap, quick and easy to use as the infrastructure is already there.

There are two main disadvantages to fossil fuels:

1. A lot of them produce toxic gases when they are burnt.

- like coal etc which can contribute to global warming as it increases the greenhouse gases that trap the suns rays which warm us up.

- These gases can also be detrimental to human health - respiratory diseases etc.

2. They are generally unsustainable, this means that for resources like coal and oil they cannot regenerate themselves in a reasonable time span to replace themselves so they will eventually run out and without other sustainable technologies being used (e.g. wind or solar power) we will have no more fuel.
