That's like saying "solar is vastly more efficient than hydropower because it requires less water, concrete, and river space."
Neither nuclear nor renewables are limited by those things, compared to things like cost, regulatory hurdles, political factors, fossil fuel lobbies, etc. Then there's the actual specific hurdles per energy type, like limited storage/battery tech/lithium/cobalt for solar, volatility for wind, nuclear waste and long-term capital risk for nuclear, etc.
