An eastern Nevada wind farm could face a fine of up to $200,000 over the death of a golden eagle.

I would imagine that a "take permit" would run you in the neighborhood of $250,000 so the developers did a cost/benefit analysis and so it goes...

Sooner or later they'll off a Golden Condor and then they'll really wish they'd have popped for the permit.
