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?

The size of the Class A hifi audio amp market literally doesn't move the needle on global environmental impact and the earth's carbon footprint. Much more lower hanging fruit for any activists or policy interest groups to go after first - most obviously a move away from fossil fuels and on to renewables.  It would be much more meaningful to power our societies (including our Class A amps) with offshore wind, solar, waste to energy, etc power sources.  Anyone who cares about policy would be taking this approach and not targeting individual devices.
Totally agree about Pass gear...and amazingly sound like "music" despite not containing a single tube.
