Not to enter the discussion of wind farms, but

When a pilot collides with a ground obstruction it's his fault. The hazards
are marked on the charts which are required to be in the cockpit and
accessible to the pilot.

Was that really a serious question?

At least the legislation does not license the windmill operators to
accidentally kill glider pilots. Or does that dispensation already exist
under case law?

Who is liable when pilots collide with hazards like antenna towers?

I recall someone saying that the windmills would not be a problem because
the best ridge lift would be somewhat below and in front of the blades.
