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?

I love my luxman... They do ab amps as well... My 550ax2 is amazing for my tannoys... I was debating getting the sugden IA4 as well but got a great deal with luxman so went for that... Either would make me. Happy

are you denying climate change


Nobody can deny climate change, just what's causing it is another story.

No not denying climate change. Weather today is hot and humid. Tomorrow is forecast to be cooler and and less humid. Fall is coming and winter is right around the corner. Then next summer will be different than this summer. So there is your climate change. Weather patterns are cycles aways have been always will be. One more point mother nature is still competing with gravity as the only two undefeated champs to date. Sorry to all for going political but the bear got poked.
