There's a difference between getting tangled in litigation and gettting stopped by litigation. Altamont has been generating this entire time, and since the newer larger windmills tend to turn at a lower speed the whole raptor death thing is kinda moot too since replacing the older/smaller stuff w/ newer larger stuff would only reduce the number of deaths per year. Probably why the case was thrown out.
If Prop 7 (CA) passes, the state gets priority when it comes to placing T&D as well as renewable infrastructure. Granted, people will still go to court, but at the same time the state will still declare imminent domain and the cases themselves won't impact anything getting built, just whether or not the people were treated/paid fairly.
