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?

When it comes, and it likely will come, it will come in the form of a consumption tax on electricity. A sin tax if you will. Or maybe a luxury item consumption tax (similar to a gas-guzzler tax). Just a matter of time.



I don't think that will happen because that would be a hit to electric cars, the powers that be wouldn't want that.
Get yourself a nice solar power source and you’ll be just as environmentally conscious as anyone else.


Solar isn't very cost effective in Michigan for the amount of energy it produces. I'm on certainteed's advisory council in my area and they won't even offer photovoltaic shingles because we don't get enough sunlight.
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.


Wrong,  your amp draws half the current and twice the voltage as 115 volts and produces the same wattage.
electricity is getting more expensive, not less. I ve owned class A heaters, and 250w tube heaters, so there’s the added cost to cool the room.


I have to laugh when someone that spends 20,000 plus on class A amps, then they complain about the electric bill. 
are you denying climate change


Nobody can deny climate change, just what's causing it is another story.
Facebook and Twitter are NOT media companies like newspapers.



They are like newspapers if they make editorial decisions. They aren’t platforms like Verizon or at&t, those two don’t make editorial decisions, you can spread all the disinformation you want on those two platforms. So why should these tech giants get to hide behind the we are a platform when they aren’t  just a platform anymore.
Pretty short list compared to the thousands who say otherwise! 


It's short because these scientists were the only ones who dared to go public, there are many more. Any climate scientists that disagree that man may not be the cause or study alternate theories get ridiculed and some even have there careers ruined. That's not how science should be.
