Yes, but the only power that counts is what is being radiated by the
antenna as RF. So, what's the point of pumping 100 watts into an
inefficient antenna when the same amount of RF could be transmitted by
pumping 10 watts into a more efficient antenna? Not to mention the fact
that the less efficient antenna is also likely to be much worse at
receiving.
