    No, It is actually the light produced that we can actually use as a energy source, the limiting thing is, before completely loosing its kinetic energy to frictional heat, stuff falls into black hole, from where we can not get anymore energy back. If black hole is stationary, then its 6%, and if its spinning (and assuming the fastest spinning theoretically possible) - 42% (spinning black holes are smaller and have smaller radius of no-return

      Ahhh alright I was thinking the black hole converting mass to energy for itself, not as if we were to try utilize it

        we can’t let the noble black hole keep all ye energy, ye shall liberate it
