Excerpt from the Given the important decisions to be made with respect to privatisation and the role of Dutch gas and storage in an European context, we thought that a well-documented book on Dutch gas, written by leading experts in the field of energy in the Netherlands would be an asset for the interested layman and professional. We found Aad Correlje, Coby van der Linde and Theo Westerwoudt prepared to write such a book on the history of gas in the Netherlands, the forced development of the demand for gas and its substitution for other forms of energy, and naturally its fascinating impact on the Dutch economy.The authors also describe the role of the different governments and their policies towards gas and the use of State revenues.

While discussing the content of the book, it was suggested to include interviews with politicians, bankers, and leading professionals to further illuminate the issues.
