There is much interest in trying to understand how these prime movers are able to release energy from accreting gas and their own spin energy. Electromagnetic field plays a large role in many of the mechanisms under active consideration. In this article, several of the many possible ``metabolic pathways'' through which mass, angular momentum and energy can flow around and away from black hole magnetospheres are discussed. Particular importance is attached to the interactions between the inflowing disk, the outflowing wind, the black hole and the jet. Some important unresolved questions are identified and it is argued that large scale numerical computation will almost certainly be necessary to address them.
