    Just out of the ground
    Gas has been bubbling up in the polders for centuries. After 1895, this gas was systematically used in thousands of places and there are still about 150 private gas wells in the North Holland polders: small, primitive energy facilities that collect gas that simply comes out of the ground. In bad weather they accelerate a lot, in calm weather a lot less. Gas is used for cooking, heating and a single source gas holder eats by gaslight, just like in the old days. In some polders, almost every farm had such an installation three quarters of a century ago. Drilling wells, making boilers, supplying gas lamps, stockings and glasses: it was an industry that brought light to the polder.
