How long does Class A have?


Hi Guys/Gals
 I have a Sugden A21SE which is a Pure Class A single ended design, I absolutely love this musical amplifier with its strangely plentiful 30wpc, it runs hots as they do, I always enjoy watching the faces of my uninitiated friends when they touch it after I mention they get hot, lol.
But in this modern green era I wonder just how long do Class A amplifiers have before Greta Thunberg gets wind of this inefficient method of creating sound and pisses on the parade?

Thoughts?

... my question was not meant to be “inflammatory” my question was a genuine comment about inefficient amps and power hungry devices in our changing world, no one forced to read it or insulted by my OP, just a genuine question.
Nonsense. You made this discussion both political and personal right from the beginning. You wanted a political thread and you got one.

As my amps run on 230v I guess they draw 1/2 the current and 1/2 the power?
No, your amp draws the same amount of current at either voltage, all other things being equal.
