    The letter summarizes concerns with BP's public involvement efforts regarding a major wind power project in the town of Cape Vincent, NY. Specifically, the letter expresses that BP's most recent response letter fails to address any of the issues or questions raised previously and does not acknowledge the town's attempts at dialogue. The town feels BP is engaging in a monologue rather than a genuine public dialogue and sees this as a troubling sign that the large energy developer is unwilling to genuinely engage with the community's concerns regarding the unprecedented size and scope of the proposed project. The town requests the public service commission consider its frustrations and lack of meaningful engagement as it evaluates BP's public involvement process.
