ICE engines are going nowhere unless outlawed by the gubbiment.
You will never know, as Florida will be below sea level.
How do you know the continental shelf won't collapse off the coast of Africa and destroy the Eastern seaboard along with a majority of Florida. Or perhaps a asteroid might hit the Earth and cause mass extinction. There are other possibilities as well. The earth is ever changing long before man. At one time McPherson Kansas was covered by ocean, currently elevation at 1496'. It could be a man made disaster as well, biological or nuclear.
Speculation about the future is just that speculation. Man has made some poor choices in the past trying to help as well. Look at the levies on the Mississippi to control flooding. Without the natural cycle of flooding the silt that was deposited on the banks is carried far out to the ocean where it does no good. The result is New Orleans is sinking and the protective marsh is disappearing. Wind power kills lots of birds as well 140,000 to 328,000 annually. What will be the consequences be for all the battery production and disposal long term? Will electric vehicles make things better or worse? I personally don't know. I just hope we're not trading bad for worse.

Wind power kills less than one tenth of 1 percent of birds. Most bird kills are attributed to house cats, traffic and buildings. Old myth. Google is your friend.
Google is where I got my numbers, (birds killed per year wind turbines). Your right Google is your friend.
So I punched in your exact syntax “birds killed per year wind turbines” and this is the first thing that came up
“Wind turbine blades do indeed kill birds and bats, but their contribution to total bird deaths is extremely low, as these three studies show. ... wind farms killed approximately seven thousand birds in the United States in 2006 but nuclear plants killed about 327,000 and fossil-fuelled power plants 14.5 million.Jun 16, 2017”.
So yah. Wind turbines kill birds...but an almost insignificant amount compared to other sources, with the worst ones being feral and non feral cats.
