Except when deployed in wilderness areas that require access roads, staging areas, and electricity networks to be cleared. Which is often the case for wind -- hills and mountainous areas that are inherently less suitable for building and farming.

Much smaller nuclear footprint inside existing industrial sprawl is usually preferable in terms of land use.
