Then why are they calling it #GreenIndustrialRevolution all over social media?

Branding, the industrial revolution is a British (Manc) thing that is almost universally thought of as wonderful and the best of British ingenuity (dispite all the actual problems of pollution, slavery etc they went along with it) so saying it's like that but with all green stuff sounds a lot different than revolution sans industrial.

Well, I was referring only to nationalisation. As miro_o says, the bit that might and should be revolutionary, in overthrowing quite a few established structures, will be the 'green' bit. I mean, at the end of the day it's basically a lot of work, but there will be a lot of resistance to it, so there's room to have at least a bit of a revolutionary feeling.
