Net metering involves buying and selling kWh. If there are fixed infrastructure costs involved, the companies involved should bill for those separately.<p>I buy my car from company A and my gasoline from company B with clear prices for A and B.<p>Why is the scenario where the car company provides my gasoline and then bills for both gasoline and the car in an opaque &quot;single bill&quot; manner, where I can never make out which is which preferable for the consumer?
