alt Hacker NewsGroningen gas field produced 40 billion m3 a year. 100m3 is 1MWh, currently sold for 50 eur. So the production would generate revenue of 20 billion eur a year. Tax it at 10%, get 2B eur. Buy/build houses for 400k a piece, 5.000 a year. There are cca 10.000 houses with minor or major damage. In 2 fucking years everyone gets a new second house for free and we get cheap gas.

You realize that people's houses are more than a number in a balance sheet?
Losing all your personal items and memories + living homeless for a few years while the reconstruction is in progress isn't minor inconvenience.

Ah, sorry, this will not work, we are not capable of building new houses in any significant capacity. I don't know why but it's the reality.
