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?

Who knows maybe even the micro-pellet nuclear reactors will come into vogue. :)

Popular mechanics last year had an issue that spoke of small neighborhood reactors.. The cool thing, it alluded to being VERY safe..
Rod disposal is the issue. I think this addressed it.. The Russians already have one that is floating just for energy production with minimum waste.. In winter months when BTU drops on natural gas, these guys pick up the slack without the carbon footprint increase to meet severe winter demands. Good idea.. Sure beats the Fukushima cover up.. Is that what Russia uses them for? I’d doubt it..

Sink it.. Problem gone.. Just have to worry about Godzilla’s, nephew or something..

Class A will never go away.. Just ME away from it. I don't miss my little heaters.. I'm on class Ds for another month and on to class A, A/B valves through the fall, winter, and spring.. To darn hot for the inland Bay Area.
20 degrees difference between where I live and the coast.. Over 110 a few times through the summers here..
