Q: What is the origin of the flow?
A: The flow is launched from ~pc scales and is
    not related to the inner accretion disk. It is energy
    driven and radiation pressure force is negligible.
    Possible association with the torus or the central
    star cluster (proxy for SFR in the inner pc of AGN?)
Q: Is the mass loss rate appreciable?
A: Yes, it is of order of, and sometimes larger than
     the mass accretion rate (implications for fueling?).
Q: Is the kinetic luminosity substantial?
A: No, it is of order 0.1% of the bolometric, cf. 5%
    adopted by Di Matteo et al. 2005 (can feedback be
    accounted for by high velocity flows?)
