What the Hell is going on with SoCal Edison Net metering?

Sorry I just have to bitch a little. They still tabulate the net amount of energy and want me to pay that once a year. However, they want me to pay monthly the "non energy related" portion. So do they really need the 91 cents monthly from me or what, they'll go out of business. I have bill pay, but for those who don't have online bill pay, it's retarded to slap on a 41 cent stamp to pay them 91 cents a month.
