Yes, thanks to recent wind cleanings, Spirit is able to store about twice the energy Oppy is able to each day, but I doubt the extra amps Oppy's labored wheel may consume will break her bank. As I understand it, Opportunity's main concern is the mechanical preservation of that wheel system, not her available energy.
