No, just the opposite, you confused the subject and the object: the energy companies stopped pandering to Brussels dreamers and kept on serving the customers

Note from asker:
| Thank you, but I guess I'm still not sure what this means in this context. The idealists from Brussels abandoned the energy conglomerates? But they probably weren't working there in the first place.... Abandoned them ideologically? i.e. no longer supported those companies? |
| Now I see! Thanks! |
