I received a tweet last night from my son Mathew saying, "I was interviewed by King 5 today. I'll be on the news tonight. I think I did ok."

Mathew -- who just graduated from high school in June -- is working at the University of Washington on a summer research project. He works in the lab at the University of Washington Clean Energy Institute helping to develop cheaper solar technology.

This week UW is hosting a renewable energy conference with more than 400 attendees from 20 countries.

It's amazing as a parent to think that your child could play a big part in new renewable energy for our county and at only 18 years old!

See Mathew's interview here.
