There are two major criticisms, I think: the compression factor, which would exponentially increase any disaster that occurred, and the "dirty oil" factor.

I think both of these points are somewhat overblown, although both are valid. There's just not a lot of arguments to be made against stuff like this until we really, truly have an alternative.
