[Calculation: This counter adds 278 euro to the previous total each second. I've based this amount on an article on the Dutch website Co2ntramine.nl, which states the natural gas revenues totalled 12 billion euro last year. Rounded off conservatively, this equals 1 million euro per hour and 278 euro per second. This counter only serves to give you an indication of how big a money making machine the Groningen gas field is.]
