Wind probably does pretty good up there. Lots of mountains, but sparsely populated so they don't need to find all that many locations.

They stuck a turbine on the top of Grousse mountain (a PR stunt for the Olympics), and it barely moved. Solar can work in the interior, but isn't much use on the coast. Hydro is the main renewable source of energy out here. It has it's issues of course, but it does provide a lot of cheap, reasonably-green energy.
