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 has about one to three years before a truly state of the art class D amp is here......after that.....all class a amps will be boat anchors.

Enjoy every moment......you deserve it.  You are beautiful.

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.
