Yep! Battery + solar technology has advanced phenomenally in the past couple decades. We've already reached the point where solar + storage is cheaper than nuclear, even as far north as Sweden.
Save for niche applications, Nuclear energy is borderline redundant. Along with the classic points against nuclear (mining, meltdowns, waste), renewables are inherently more decentralised which promotes community ownership and reduces need for expensive infrastructure, plus it's about 10x faster to set up.
