Five stories that have North Texas talking: Wind power’s growing in Texas; Fort Worth is the latest Texas city grappling with pension woes; banned books in Texas prisons; and more.

Wind power capacity has moved past coal in Texas.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which oversees 90 percent of the state's grid, says that the start of commercial operations at a 155-megawatt wind farm in West Texas this month pushed the state's wind power capacity to more than 20,000 megawatts. That surpasses the 19,800 megawatts of capacity from coal-fired power plants, according to The Associated Press.

Several coal plants are on their way out. The state's largest power generator, Dallas-based Vistra Energy, plans to shutter three plants: Monticello in northeast Texas, Sandow near Austin and Big Brown east of Waco, according to the Houston Chronicle.

While ERCOT still gets most of its power from natural gas and coal, wind power generation now accounts for 15 percent of the power mix — up from just 2 percent a decade ago, AP reports.

Joshua Rhodes of the University of Texas' Energy Institute in Austin says he expects the state's wind farms to generate more power than its coal mines by 2019. Read a Q&A with him in the Chronicle.
