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?

Class A is fine, compared to other items in the home there is little impact.

The big Evil is EV i had a Tesla S and their SUV and my electric bill went up $600 a month, the dial on my meter was moving so fast there was a constant whine. So i installed solar and two Tesla house batteries to the tune of 70k and my electric bill was still in the $200 a month range. I got rid of the Teslas and now the electric company is paying me monthly.

For everyone to be in an EV is a pipe dream the grid cannot handle what we have now let alone an EV world. So if someone complains tell them to complain to an EV owner.

@bpoletti  Be nice... this is an audio forum, no need for politics.

@mrmeaner  Perhaps a better question would be, how long does Class D have?
