Iceland would theoretically be great, ideal location for US and Europe. But they'd need to lay a cable first, traffic Iceland-US is currently routed through Denmark/UK.

Iceland also has cheap renewable energy. There is the Greenland connect cable¹ built in 2009 that goes from Iceland to Canada. Sounds like it currently has 60GBit/s.

At least when I was in Iceland traffic to the US was never routed through that cable (from traceroutes).

Quebec appears to be the better choice for cheap renewable energy.
