Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Could aliens be using collapsed stars for energy?

Mo Islam asked the Naked Scientists:
Pulsar Planets,
I will admit I am a big Sci-Fi fan and do believe there are "space aliens" out there somewhere. Saying that I have a question on a non-theory posed when found extrasolar objects found around a pulsar.
I know there are debates, is it even possible to have an extrasolar object after an explosion that would render the solar system destroyed? And there are theories: the remaining dust would re-coalesce and form these planets around these pulsars.
But what if! And I do mean what if! They weren't planets at all. What if spacefaring civilization is using these collapsed stars as a source of free energy?
Imagine putting in a large "collector" of some kind in the path of a pulsar to harness some significant amount of energy to use for whatever they needed. If a Pulsar is outputting 52.3 quathordecillion Joules(http://astronomy-by-kyle.blogspot.com/2012/09/neutron-stars-formation-mass-and-size.html), even if you can capture a fraction of that power it's immense!! I would if I needed free power.
So what if we are staring at objects of alien made on PSR B1620-26 or PSR B1257 12(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsar_planet)? What do you think?
