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?

Greta has never pretended to be anything but a kid.  Her consistent message is to listen to the scientists.  Stupid science.

Linear powered class D module with a low power, class A input preamp section is the future.  High powered Class A output is like using a V8.  Inefficient and wasteful.
