Because they are phosphor-based sets, meaning that they are able to give instantaneous response time, very high contrast, deep blacks, and accurate colors, just like their CRT cousins. As an added plus, they can be built with high resolutions at large screen sizes. They also have wide viewing angles, unlike LCD TVs.
LEDs come close, but still cannot quite match the contrast and black levels of plasma. They also still have narrower viewing angles and slower response.
Plasmas in general do use more power, but most newer models are pretty energy-efficient, Energy-star rated and all. In addition, it won't make much of a difference on the electric bill when you compare to things that really do use a lot of electricity, like furnaces and air conditioning. Plasmas are more likely to burn in than CRT or LCD TVs, but new sets from good brands like Panasonic, LG, and Samsung incorporate technology make this less likely.
