I really don't think they're going to _need_ "diamond resistance". 
Diamonds don't form dust all that easily. But even if they did, how many 
diamond-fired power plants are there likely to be, anyway? Certainly not 
zillions. There's only a thousand tons a day to deal with and much of 
that will actually be used for useful things.
