Will glow return

Not all two strokes sound like weedeaters. My ST 2300 has a nice bass growl, and doesn't sound out of place on a (kit bashed) warbird. My second favorite engine is a screaming tower .75 that is incongruously pulling a Senior Telemaster about. No it doesn't sound right to some but then again I prefer the sound of a screaming crotch rocket to a defening open piped Harley.
Rant: open pipes may save lives but they surely do annoy EVERYONE else.....

Don't care to hear loud bikes on the road at all.
The best thing about the government eliminating gasoline;
Never having to hear another loud piped inconsiderate, ignorant Harley jerk with an IQ matching the cylinder count on his stone-age motorcycle.
Smart riding saves far more lives than bikes with idiot pipes.

Hopefully we'll a few decades or a century before gas is banned (unless you're in California of course) Heartily agree with the rest of your thoughts.....

My feeling is it depends on the modeling society as a whole, and not just the younger generation. Some records show humans having been around millions of years. If the upcoming increasing temperature (apocalypse) does not cause another mass extinction on our planet, and if humans are around for millions (or billions) of more years, I think the odds of glow having another heyday are good. If it happens far enough in the future it could take place on a planet other than earth. I feel sure humans will be terra farming and making other planets habitable in the far future

It seems the earth reclaims everything eventually. Given that, I do not think the current glow engines are going anywhere (other than eventually into the ground). Future generations will dig them up... literally. Like fossils from a bygone era. To your point, combustion engine technology may disappear. At some point it may be resurrected using digital engineering drawings from way in the past. There is just no way to know what things will be like 1,000, 10,000, 1,000,000, or 1,000,000,000 years in the future. And what does it matter anyways?

I enjoy studying the timeline of our planet. I enjoy the reading the online speculation of the distant future. I have a highly technical history so facts and figures are interesting to me.
Will glow return to its heyday? One can get very philosophical and say: Does it really even matter? It seems to me it is all about good times gone past. We cherish our good times

Not about the past; My friends and I are quite active building and flying planes of all types. Many if not most of these planes are powered by methanol fuel, using glow ignition.
We are totally enjoying the present and looking forward to a continuation well in to the future.
No guarantees yet very reasonable expectations.

That is wonderful. I am happy for you
I am somewhat like billinpa and do not think glow is in its heyday.
Does that mean we cannot have fun?
Of course it doesn't
Onwards and upwards

glow is definitely NOT gone...but think about the old timer pre-glow gas engines....glow engines replaced them, the gas engines came back...no it virtually all eletric....glo all the way for me, gas is second

I can see it 2000 years from now;
Grandpa says to 15y.o.grandson "you know what that tree is"?
Grandson "no"
Grandpa "it's a balsa tree (ochroma pyramidale)"
Grand son "pull my finger"
