The Palos Verdes Landslide: Who Turned the Power Back On!?
Speaker: Bradley L. Bartz, Founder, ABC Solar Incorporated
What happens when the grid goes down—and communities need power now?
Join us for a compelling talk by clean-energy pioneer Bradley L. Bartz, who will share the true story behind the Palos Verdes landslide and the unexpected solution that helped restore power when traditional systems failed. Using distributed solar and battery technology, Bartz and his team delivered emergency power under extreme conditions—an effort that ultimately sparked a new generation of mobile energy systems now operating at AltaSea, and a bold vision for floating energy solutions in Los Angeles Harbor.
This talk weaves together real-world emergency response, hands-on engineering, and the future of resilient, community-based energy systems.
