I discuss recent progress in the theory of the energy loss from pulsars, focusing on the advances in force free models of the magnetopshere and on dissipation in the wind, with implications of the latter for unusually models of pulsed emission. I also draw attention to the implications the new global magnetopshere models may have may have for the generation of parallel electric fields, and the implications of these for high energy emission, radio emission and the global mass loss rate through pair creation. I discuss parallel electric field formation and consequences for photon emission in scenarios with self-consistent currents, which are rather different from the standard gap models with their starvation electric fields. Finally, I remark on the importance of radiation transfer effects in unravelling the continuing mystery of pulsar radio emission.
