My understanding, and I could be wrong because I don't know the percentages, has always been that research done on energy and medicine is primarily done by Universities with government grants. Don't get me wrong. I don't deny there are jobs for PhD's outside of academia but we're talking about averages here and I still think the majority of PhD's end up being paid by a University of some kind (be it as a professor or in a research lab)
