Saltwater is natural. It’s found in oceans, underground and in our own bodies. That makes it seem like a fairly harmless substance. Saltwater does not burn when lit or when struck by lightning.
Lightning sparks fire at disposal facility
Firefighters from across Harrison County were called out when lightning reportedly struck a saltwater disposal facility early Wednesday night.
The facility was struck twice by lightening and caused nine tanks to catch fire. Saltwater burns? Who knew?
The fire marshall added that the contents of the tanks are considered hazardous material because it is mixed with crude oil.
They call it saltwater because they want you to be fooled, just like they call natural gas a “clean” energy.
Just another reason to support the new bills Injection/Disposal Wells: New Bills Propose Better Regulations.

Very alarming development, Sharon. Thanks again for bringing these deceptions to our attention.
Ah, but saltwater sounds so benign!
Of course, if it was actually nothing but saltwater, it still need to be totally contained, true? I mean, my water comes from wells dug by my local water company and…..the injection well owners may dispute this…I can’t drink salt water if some of the water put into these wells should leak into the fresh water tables…now can I?
We’re already running short of water in this area. Texas is already working to import water from Oklahoma. Think about it. Just a few little leaks in these injection wells…..
Salt water also burns in Booger County!!
