My son and the environment

[catherine]

I wanted to post this in Environment but maybe it's just a mother's bragging rights. My son (the high school drop-out) in his capacity as attorney for the Department of Clean Energy in my former state has been spearheading this initiative for off-shore windfarms.

Can I call myself a proud mama? I know this is shameless. Please indulge me.

That’s great!

[rosarugosa]

You have plenty of reason to be proud!

[SteveinMN]

Good going -- both your part in getting your son to where he is today and his part in making this happen!

[Zoe Girl]

That is a super great project, you should be proud! Btw my son is also a HS drop out and one of the youngest assistant managers in his grocery store chain.

[JaneV2.0]

I'm proud of him, and I don't even know him!

HS dropouts often bounce back, like my nephew the engineer...:)

This is lovely catherine.

[ApatheticNoMore]

good for you. But more than not being the path of a typical high school drop out, which may be true, it's much more not typically the path of the typical law school graduate!

hahaha, really though it's a hard place to keep idealism it seems.

One of my son’s was also and has a master’s degree in math. My step son dropped out at 17 and went into the military. At 28 he is a officer and pilot. Some people are late bloomers.

That's awesome! And smart that they are putting them as far offshore as they are. I don't think you can catch windmill cancer from 15 miles away.

The project is great! It's very important to make such things nowadays. Our planet is already polluted too much and we just need to make it better!
