    Feds Sue Calif. Over Ban On Drilling Near Schools, Homes

    The U.S. government sued California on Wednesday over its law banning fossil fuel development activities within 3,200 feet of homes, schools and other sensitive areas, saying the state law is preempted by federal law since it infringes on the U.S. government's authority to manage federal lands and mineral resources.
