Nope. Not even Ethanol, or rather especially not ethanol...

OK... Are there any fuel possibilities that are safe using non-hydrocarbons?

Try this one (warning - big oil bought the patents and suppressed this technology):

Hydrogen isn't a hydrocarbon and could be used to power an engine suited for it, but I'm sure hydrocarbons would be used in its manufacture so the net effect would be muted or eliminated.

I always thought we'd get enough nukes running to use electrolysis to separate hydrogen from water.

Then burning hydrogen creates water.

Boom! Winning...
