Science Nerds: Could Jupiter's Magnetic Field be harvested for energy?

RE: Science Nerds: Could Jupiter's Magnetic Field be harvested for energy?
Since it's science fiction, why bother making the power source plausible? Artificial gravity isn't plausible, nor phasers, transporters, light sabres, and so on and so on.

Since you're setting this far into the future, it stands to reason that there would be some significant scientific advancements during that time. Just postulate a synthetic element (you have my blessing to call it 'borudium') that transforms magnetic fields directly into usable electricity.
