Windmills vs. Birds of Prey

In the name of almighty green energy, the government has issued a new ruling: "The newly finalized rule would grant 30-year permits allowing wind farms and other projects to accidentally kill federally protected eagles, provided they meet certain criteria." 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.
