Understanding the accretion flow in AGN has recently become an important cosmological
problem as AGN feedback via winds and the jet is now known to control the star formation
powered growth of galaxies. However, we have no current global models for the power
carried by these components, nor do we know how they tie to the accretion flow, which is
not surprising as we do not understand the structure of the accretion flow itself. I
will review what we know about the way the observed spectral energy distribution changes
with mass and mass accretion rate, and propose a global model for the accretion flow
structure which includes the soft X-ray excess. I use this accretion flow structure as
the basis for a proposed quantitive model for the power carried by winds and jets.
