live in a small space heated with a heat pump

Their thin walls cause this to only be a tiny improvement I'd wager (still the best option though). They can even punch holes in their walls, if I tried this with a german drywall I'd break all the bones in my hand.

but I suspect your nation is simply too wealthy to hit the target

This implies environmental protection contradicts wealth (as in "lots of money in one n̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ regional administrative zone"), a common conservative lie. It doesn't, unfettered capitalism does. E.g. the solar business makes fucking bank but is a net positive on the environment. So are lots of other businesses. The definition of wealth is fucked anyway.

The U.S. is about 28 times larger than Germany. There is an entire continent worth of biomes here. Some places have thin walls, and some don't. Insulation factor is less important in, say, San Diego than it is in Minneapolis, for example.

Thin walls? I have 2 layers of block walls with cavity insulation.
