Perhaps there's a way to use this difference in time velocity at different altitudes to boil water to rotate a turbine and make electricity?

No. Conservation of energy still exists in General Relativity.

You guys are so boring. I was referring to a joke which tells that when science discovers a way to extract energy out of irregularities in spacetime manifold, the reactor would still boil water to make electricity.

Sounds a bit like the Asimov book "The Gods Themselves".
