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?

Just this very mourning I bought a pristine Sugden "MusicMaster"pure Class A amplifier(15/24 wpc.) from a Bijou system..Don't give a rats behind what "takes over",I got mine & you will have to fight your way into my castle,get past a hail of 9mm & 12 gauge & terminate my assault along with my life to take it away!

ricevs, that is a possibility but even if they come up with such a state of  the art Class D amp there will always be people who will hold out with their Class A amps because they will sound better in a different way to their ears and will swear by it.

I choose 'what sounds the best at the time', not 'what sounds the best within emission ratings'. GIven this, it is full class A all the way come hell or high water.
I have several all class A Krell units and yes, I run them all at once. When I felt bad about the environment, I filled my roof with solar panels. The illusion as i found out, was that the panels are mostly not even recyclable.
