We argue that the narrow jets which are sometimes seen to escape from YSOs into an ambient molecular cloud consist of e±-plasma which can be created in stellar magnetospheric discharges and subsequently centrifugally post-accelerated. This high-pressure pair plasma is squeezed into two jets which ram cocoons into the molecular cloud, observed in the form of molecular lobes (outflows).
