I too am unhappy about clean energy fratricide between renewables and nuclear power. (Though I think that most of the financial pressure on nuclear in the US is actually from shale gas; renewable generation hasn't been able to grow as quickly in absolute terms even though its relative YoY growth has been impressive.) If electricity storage gets cheaper and more abundant, that should help nuclear power too. It means that nuclear generators, like renewables, would be able to charge storage at low-price, low-demand times and discharge/sell at times of high demand. That would tend to displace relatively inefficient marginal supply sources based on fossils, like open cycle gas turbines used as peakers, instead of driving infighting between nuclear power and newer low-emissions sources.
