How much fossil fuel was used in making his stupid Joker movie?

They film certain scenes from Better Call Saul near where I work. For a scene with less than a minute of air time, they bring in about 100 people, at least one portable generator set (diesel-powered) that runs 24/7 while they are set up (usually 3-4 days), around 100 people, anywhere from 30-50 vehicles depending on what they're filming (with some constantly idling or driving back-and-forth shuttling people from their air-conditioned trailers to the set (oh, and that means another gen-set), and disrupt the traffic and work-flow of the area.

1 minute of screen time, probably more energy spewed from those gen-sets in three days than I would consume in a year of commuting.

Was teaching a class at the old courthouse in downtown Albuquerque a while back and they were filming some scenes for Better Call Saul. What a cluster for anyone not involved in the shoot.
